Female Killers. Edition No. 1

VDM Publishing House, September 2008, Pages: 124

German women made a vital contribution to genocide
within the context of the Nazi racial hygiene
program. Female Killers examines the role played by
female nurses in the crimes of the Nazi regime.
Through a detailed study of nurses who participated
in the Nazi euthanasia program at the Hadamar
killing centre, Female Killers examines
women's agency and their contribution to
the crimes of the Nazi regime. This study applies
sociologist Zygmunt Bauman’s writings about
modernity and Holocaust and evaluates the ways in
which the organization of the killing enterprise
impacted upon the conduct of female nurses and how
they reconciled their involvement in the killings
with their consciences. It argues that nurses’
compliance with murder evolved incrementally as they
became embedded within the bureaucratic-medical
network of murder. By the time nurses grasped the
depth of their complicity in murder, they had become
too enmeshed in the machinery of murder to extricate
themselves from its operations.
This study contributes to broader historical
understandings of perpetrator behaviour and the
Holocaust. The appendices present previously
unpublished documents.
