dc.description.abstract | Grossly outnumbered by their male colleagues and largely forgotten by history, SS women experienced and implemented the Holocaust in gendered ways. SS Aufseherinnen guarded women imprisoned within the Nazi concentration camp system. Within this system, they devised strategies to conform to the prevailing male gender norms which governed camp culture. This work examines their training, their camp experience, their postwar trials, and the use of their images in postwar culture. These were ordinary women, but their experience was marked at every stage by their gendered otherness. | |
