Wendy Lower's stunning account of the role of German women on the Eastern Front - not only as plunderers and direct witnesses, but as actual killers - powerfully revises history. Many young nurses, teachers, secretaries, and wives saw the emerging Nazi empire as a kind of "Wild East" of opportunity, yet they could not have imagined what they would do there.
Lower, drawing on twenty years of archival research and fieldwork on the Holocaust, access to post-Soviet documents, and interviews with German witnesses, presents compelling evidence that these women went on "shopping sprees" and romantic outings to the Jewish ghettos of Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus, and that they were present at killing-field picnics, not only providing refreshment but also taking part in the shooting of Jews. And, Lower uncovers the stories of SS wives - with children of their own - whose brutality is as chilling as any in history.
Hitler's Furies will challenge our deepest beliefs using evidence hidden for seventy years: Women can be just as brutal as men.

************************************************************************
In the introduction to Hitler's Furies, Author Wendy Lower writes that while traveling on bad 1992 Soviet roads doing research for this book she had to stop often. You will have to stop often too, just to digest the horrors in this book.
This fact filled, exhaustively researched and detailed book divides main topics into Witnesses, Accomplices and Killers and begins with eleven names of the Main Characters.
The book ends with the sentence, "The short answer is that most got away with murder."
The author asks if youth, naiveté, a sense of adventure, dedication to Nazi ideals ambition and curiosity explains how many women got swept up in `the moment and the movement.' But, she writes that as each of these women came closer to the reality of their nation's deeds, they had to make a personal choice. This book is about the choice made by at least half a million women who witnessed and contributed to genocide.
Half a million nurses, secretaries, teachers, wives, Nazi Party activists and resettlement advisors went east.
Hitler's Furies: Ger?man Women in the Nazi Killing Fields by Wendy Lower is a non-fiction book depict?ing the hor?rific and stun?ning roles women played in the Third Reich. Ms. Lower is an Amer?i?can his?to?rian who wrote sev?eral books about the Holo?caust, she pre?sented this new infor?ma?tion in Yad Vashem , the Holo?caust Mar?tyrs' and Heroes' Remem?brance Author?ity in Jerusalem.
""[T]he con?sen?sus in Holo?caust and geno?cide stud?ies is that the sys?tems that make mass mur?der pos?si?ble would not func?tion with?out the broad par?tic?i?pa?tion of soci?ety, and yet nearly all his?to?ries of the Holo?caust leave out half of those who pop?u?lated that soci?ety, as if women's his?tory hap?pens some?where else."
I always find books about the col?lec?tive psy?chol?ogy of Ger?mans dur?ing World War II fas?ci?nat?ing. Why would any?one allow such geno?cide to hap?pen? What were they think?ing? How could they turn a blind eye to such cru?elty? How could peo?ple, oth?er?wise good and descent, can par?tic?i?pate in mass murder?
In her excel?lent book, Hitler's Furies: Ger?man Women in the Nazi Killing Fields author Wendy Lower brings new evi?dence about the Holo?caust as well as answer?ing some of the ques?tions above as well as shed?ding light on the role of women per?pe?tra?tors. Ms. Lower tells dis?turb?ing tales of pro?fes?sional women (nurses, sec?re?taries, etc.) who knew about, helped and or par?tic?i?pated in killings as well as those who were there as part .
The Nazi pro?pa?ganda machine not only con?di?tioned women to accept and tol?er?ate vio?lence, but also to par?tic?i?pate in it.
