'Elisabeth Krimmer’s excellent study draws on memoirs and fiction to enrich our understanding of women’s widespread involvement in the Third Reich and the Second World War … this comprehensive and thought-provoking study provides new impulses for research into the still undertheorized matter of complicity.' Katherine Stone, The Modern Language Review

Reviews & endorsements
‘Elisabeth Krimmer offers poised readings of a broad range of women’s voices to promote a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship of gender, genocide, and female agency. In doing so, she both untangles and complicates narratives about the German past, corrects androcentric views, and brings a welcome and important addition to the field that will be of use to scholars and students in a variety of disciplinary frameworks.’ Sandra Alfers, Holocaust and Genocide Studies
