Mothers in the Fatherland

Claudia Koonz

#2200 of 3,809 books · #737 in History

Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction (1987).

From extensive research, including a remarkable interview with the unrepentant chief of Hitler's Women's Bureau, this book traces the roles played by women – as followers, victims and resisters – in the rise of Nazism. It is an important contribution to the understanding of women's status, culpability, resistance and victimisation at all levels of German society, and a record of astonishing ironies and paradoxical morality, of compromise and courage, of submission and survival.
