The biography of the Austrian Social Democrat and Nazi concentration camp survivor Rosa Jochmann (1901-1994) is placed in the context of social and political history of the twentieth century. The rise of fascism, the period of Interwar Europe, the political developments in post-war Europe, and politics of commemoration can be illuminated from a gender perspective by the case of Rosa Jochmann, which is in certain respects paradigmatic for the developments of the time.
