Women
the Family and Nazi Politics.
Numerous
books have appeared on the subject of Nazi Germany, yet half he germans
who helped to make dictatorship, war and genocide possible have largely
escaped notice.
Why
was it that German women rallied round a man who promised to eliminate
Jews from 'Aryan' society and to expel women from public influence, and
flocked to support a party that declared the only role of women to be
'the increase and preservation of the species of the race'?
From
extensive research, including a remarkable interview with the unrepentant
chief of Hitler's Women's Bureau, Claudia Koonz has traced the roles played
by women as followers, victims and resisters - in the rise of Nazism.
Her
book is an important contribution to the understanding of women's status,
culpability, resistence and victimisation at all levels of German society,
and a record of astonishing ironies and paradoxical morality, of compromise
and courage, of submission and survival. |
