" . . . this volume makes a significant contribution to the field
of German history, allowing experts in the field as well as
researchers in other areas a forceful immersion into the workings
and deployment of sexual categories and policies during and
following the Third Reich. There is little doubt that it will
become a standard text for teaching and future research."
-Sexuality & Culture The interrelationship of fascism and
sexuality has attracted a great deal of interest for some time now.
This collection offers fresh perspectives by leading scholars on
the history of sexuality under national socialism on such topics as
the persecution of Jewish-gentile sex in the "race defilement"
trials, homophobic propaganda and the prosecution of same-sex
activity within the Wehrmacht and SS, representations of female
sexuality in film, prostitution on home and battle fronts, sexual
relations between Germans and foreign forced laborers, and
reproductive practices among Jewish survivors. Moreover, the
authors provide new insights into the relationships between Nazi
sexual politics and antisemitism and challenge assumptions of
Nazism as sexually repressive; instead they emphasize the
interrelationships between incitement to sexual activity and
persecution and mass murder. Dagmar Herzog is Professor of History
at the Graduate Center, City University of New York and the author
of Sex after Fascism: Memory and Morality in Twentieth-Century
Germany (Princeton 2004) and Intimacy and Exclusion: Religious
Politics in Pre-revolutionary Baden (Princeton 1996).
