Nazi Women: The Attraction of Evil
Share
Concentration camp commandant Maria Mandel loved classical music and organized an orchestra to play during roll call and at executions. She kept Jews as 'pets', sending them to the gas chamber when she grew tired of them.
Gertrud Scholtz-Klink was the 'Female Führer'. As leader of the Nazi Women's League, her mission was to preach the doctrine of male superiority and make sure her members knew their proper place was in the home.
When English-born film starlet Lilian Harvey put up bail for a Jewish friend, she was arrested by the Gestapo and later fled for her life to France and then England.
Magda Goebbels adored Adolf Hitler so much she decided her six young children were to die alongside him in the bunker when the Russians invaded Berlin in 1945.
The Nazis were masters of manipulation, double standards and deceit, and they had firm plans for the women of the Third Reich. While men took all the important decisions, the woman's role was to be limited to Kinder, Küche und Kirche (children, kitchen and church). But as the war went on, how many women were complicit in the atrocities carried out by German forces? And what did it cost to resist the regime?

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
