| Summary: | This excellent study breaks new ground. Fine books have appeared on female Nazi guards and auxiliaries in the concentration camps, but this is the first to analyze the thousands of ordinary German women who went to the Eastern areas—Poland, Russia, and Ukraine—occupied by Germany during the Second World War.1 These women exercised their power fully and brutally in this Nazi imperial domain., Wendy Lower's well-documented study is based on thousands of wartime documents, court records, and interviews across Eastern Europe, Israel, and the United States. Included are fifty pages of notes that attest to the exhaustive research that went into the making of this book. |
