Kurzbeschreibung

A shocking new history of the role of German women in the Holocaust, not only as plunderers and direct witnesses, but as actual killers on the Eastern Front

Beschreibung

Hitler s Furies is the untold story of the Holocaust.

History has it that the role of women in Nazi Germany was to be the perfect Hausfrau and a loyal cheerleader for the Führer. However, Lower s research reveals an altogether more sinister truth.

Lower shows us the ordinary women who became perpetrators of genocide. Drawing on decades of research, she uncovers a truth that has been in the shadows that women too were brutal killers and that, in ignoring women s culpability, we have ignored the reality of the Holocaust.
