This book compares female administrators who specifically chose to
serve the Nazi cause in voluntary roles with those who took on such
work as a progression of established careers. Under the Nazi
regime, secretaries, SS-Helferinnen (female auxiliaries for the SS)
and Nachrichtenhelferinnen des Heeres (female auxiliaries for the
army) held similar jobs: taking dictation, answering telephones,
sending telegrams. Yet their backgrounds and degree of commitment
to Nazi ideology differed markedly. The author explores their
motivations and what they knew about the true nature of their work.
These women had access to information about the administration of
the Holocaust and are a relatively untapped resource. Their
recollections shed light on the lives, love lives, and work of
their superiors, and the tasks that contributed to the
displacement, deportation and death of millions. The question of
how gender intersected with Nazism, repression, atrocity and
genocide forms the conceptual thread of this book.
