Summary:

'Hitlers Furies will be experienced and remembered as a turning point in both womens studies and Holocaust studies' Timothy Snyder, author of Bloodlands

History has it that the role of women in Nazi Germany was to be the perfect Hausfrau, produce the next Aryan generation and be a loyal cheerleader for the Führer. Then they became the Trümmerfrauen, or Rubble Women, as they cleared and tidied their ruined country to get it back on its feet. They were Germanys heroines. The few women tried and convicted after the war were simply the evil aberrations the camp guards, the female Nazi elite that proved this rule.

However, Wendy Lowers research into the very ordinary women who went out to the Nazi Eastern Front reveals an altogether different story. For ambitious young women, the emerging Nazi empire represented a kind of Wild East of career and matrimonial opportunity. Over half a million of them set off for these new lands, where most of the worst crimes of the Reich would occur.

Through the interwoven biographies of thirteen women, the reader follows the transformation of young nurses, teachers, secretaries and wives who start out in Weimar and Nazi Germany as ambitious idealists and end up as witnesses, accomplices and perpetrators of the genocide in Ukraine, Poland and Belarus. Hitlers Furies presents overwhelming evidence that the women in these territories actively participated in the mass murder and some became killers. In the case of women like Erna Petri, who brought her family to her husbands impressive Polish SS estate, we find brutality as chilling as any in history.

Hitlers Furies is indelible proof that we have not known what we need to know about the role of women in the Nazi killing fields or about how it could have been hidden for seventy years. It shows that genocide is womens business as well as mens and that, in ignoring womens culpability, we have ignored the reality of the Holocaust.

A stunning tale about the deeply entrenched conflicts between a white mother and her biracial daughter. Mama' s Child is story of an idealistic young white woman who travelled to the American South as a civil rights worker, fell in love with an African American man, and started a family in San Francisco, where the more liberal city embraced them-- except when it didn' t. They raise a son and daughter, but the tensions surrounding them have a negative impact on their marriage, and they divorce when their children are still young. For their biracial daughter, this split further destabilizes her already challenged sense of self--' Am I black or white?' she must ask herself, ' Where do I belong?' Is she her father' s daughter alone? As the years pass, the chasm between them widens, even as the mother attempts to hold on to the emotional chord that binds them. It isn' t until the daughter, Ruby, herself becomes a wife and mother that she begins to develop compassion and understanding for the many ways that her own mother' s love transcended race and questions of identity.
