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.
