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 ofthis book. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Genocide,$x2731-5703 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe 606 $aSocial History 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aEurope, Central$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 14$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 615 24$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 676 $a940.5318082 700 $aCentury$b Rachel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0969696 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254768603321 996 $aFemale Administrators of the Third Reich$92203651 997 $aUNINA
