The Women of the Reich: Wendy Lower’s “Hitler’s Furies” |

I did not know about this:

The Women of the Reich: Wendy Lower’s “Hitler’s Furies” |:  Jewish survivors have consistently described German women in the Nazi East as violent tormenters, not innocent bystanders. Recounting horrific acts, however, proved far easier than naming the perpetrators. Often their names were never known by their victims, while others married after the war and changed their surnames. As for the women themselves, these witnesses, pillagers, tormenters, and murderesses kept quiet for reasons other than accountability; they had good memories of Germany’s seemingly limitless future, and their ambitious roles within it.
