Female Administrators of the Third Reich (Palgrave Studies by Rachel Century

By Rachel Century

This e-book compares woman directors who in particular selected to serve the Nazi reason in voluntary roles with those that took on such paintings as a development of confirmed careers. less than the Nazi regime, secretaries, SS-Helferinnen (female auxiliaries for the SS) and Nachrichtenhelferinnen des Heeres (female auxiliaries for the military) held related jobs: taking dictation, answering phones, sending telegrams. but their backgrounds and measure of dedication to Nazi ideology differed markedly. the writer explores their motivations and what they knew in regards to the actual nature in their paintings. those girls had entry to information regarding the management of the Holocaust and are a comparatively untapped source. Their memories make clear the lives, love lives, and paintings in their superiors, and the projects that contributed to the displacement, deportation and dying of thousands. The query of the way gender intersected with Nazism, repression, atrocity and genocide varieties the conceptual thread of this book.
