What's the contemporary value from this short story?/why this short story categorized as a contemporary work?

Motherhood is always a contemporary theme. Mothers share traits no matter what era and situation they are in. Rosa conceives, carries, and bears her daughter Magda under the most horrific of circumstances, but nevertheless loves her deeply. She keeps her alive under these impossible circumstances, neglects her own health to foster her child's, and makes every effort to remain alive herself so that Magda will. Rosa's love for her daughter is so much a part of her even though she barely gets to act like a mother under the conditions of the Holocaust. Her maternal feelings are elemental, unshakeable; Rosa is barely a woman anymore, barely a person—yet she is still a mother.
