Short description:
Examines women's life writing in order to shed light on female complicity in the Second World War and the Holocaust.
MoreLong description:
This important study examines women's life writing about the Second World War and the Holocaust, such as memoirs, diaries, docunovels, and autobiographically inspired fiction. Through a historical and literary study of the complex relationship between gender, genocide, and female agency, the analyzes correct androcentric views of the Second World War and seek to further our understanding of a group that, although crucial to the functioning of the National Socialist regime, has often been overlooked: that of the complicit bystander. Chapters on army auxiliaries, nurses, female refugees, rape victims, and Holocaust survivors analyze women's motivations for enlisting in the National Socialist cause, as well as for their continuing support for the regime and, in some cases, their growing estrangement from it. The readings allow insights into the nature of complicity itself, the emergence of violence in civil society, and the possibility of social justice.
'Elisabeth Krimmer's excellent study draws on memoirs and fiction to enrich our understanding of women's widespread involvement in the Third Reich and the Second World War ... this comprehensive and thought-provoking study provides new impulses for research into the still undertheorized matter of complicity.' Katherine Stone, The Modern Language Review
