  • How Are Women Portrayed In The Holocaust?

    873 Words  | 4 Pages

    Thesis: Women throughout most genocidal research and history are written as victims to the patriarchal society, victims to the men who waged in war, murder, and the cohered planed killings in genocide. In the Holocaust specifically, women are portrayed in history as the victims of Soviet rape, reconstructing the destroyed Germany and the revivers in the shadows of the Nazi regime. Wendy Lower, in Hitler’s Furies, attempts to debunk this “sympathetic” idea that “rubble” women were only victims to the Nazi society and genocide, and shows that in fact many women from various backgrounds, and job titles were perpetrators of genocide as well. Her thesis is to show that women can be as vindictive, malice and cruel as their men counterparts, and often times used their femininity to escape blame, retributions, to get away with their crimes without punishment. From nurse Annettte Schücking who heard the desperate tales of soldiers mass killings, to wives like Vera Wohlauf who played their role alongside their powerful SS husbands, to secretaries like Liesel Willhaus that typed the orders to kill thousand, the mobilization of women to Ukraine and Poland in pursue of Leiblingraum left few blameless.

    During World War I women’s actions became the center of attention in England, Germany and France. While their behavior varied from country to a country it was evident that local authorities felt the necessity to regulate and control women’s behaviors. In England and France, for the most part, women’s flirtatious behavior was seen as immoral and was dealt by making examples of those women and by questioning their character, which ultimately resulted in women’s reputation to suffer immensely. In Germany, the punishment was more severe. According to Todd, “in many of the convictions handed down by the judges across the Reich, sentences were determined according to the immoral extent of the crime.”

Six million Jewish and five million non Jewish men and women died during World War 2; four million of those eleven million being women.

  • Women's Rights In Fascist Italy

    1102 Words  | 5 Pages

    If all of the men are away at war, and the women are in factories...who would raise the children? Germany boasted a revamped educational system, and sports played a critical role in these children's lives. To further entice families, German families were offered financial stipends from the government in exchange for the birth of children...in short, the more kids you had, the more money you could make. This was a sharp contrast to the situation in Italy, as Nazi militants rejected the notions set forth regarding women's lack of physical strength or intellectual fortitude. The advancements women made in Nazi Germany are almost shocking, considering the male-centric ideology that is rooted in Fascism, and while this does not quite fit into the timeline we have set forth regarding the waves of feminism, one could argue that the rights advancements experienced by women during this time was a precursor to the second wave of
