review 1: I have read many books about the Holocaust, mostly novels and survivor's memoirs- this was the first Non Fiction book I have read strictly about German or Nazi woman during that period. The author did extensive research (her notes are 50 pages long! and very detailed.) and you can tell she cares deeply about this topic. It was a quick read, that keeps you interested to end. I learned some things I did not know (things appalling, but given the history of the era- not unbelievable.)I completely recommend it to anyone interested in the era or even Women's history.
review 2: The book delves into the role Nazi women played in the heinous crimes against humanity during World War II. It is a well-researched account focusing on specific women who committed atrocities ... morein eastern Europe. It sent chills up my spine reading how these women were just as brutal as the men in carrying out these atrocities. Wendy Lower also describes the psychological and sociological mindset of these women who could so easily torture and kill without any remorse. less
