Mothers in the Fatherland
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. Originally publishing in 1987, 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.

Women Without a Past?
Who remembers, and how? Debates about the role of memory as history - and of literature as memory - have increasingly come to fascinate those interested in how we look at our pasts as a means for understanding the present. Women without a Past? brings together for the first time autobiographies written by seven women who experienced Nazism from different perspectives: Elfriede Brüning, Hilde Huppert, Greta Kuckhoff, Elisabeth Langgässer, Melita Maschmann, Inge Scholl, and Grete Weil. Their autobiographies provoke diverse and challenging answers to questions about who remembers what, when, where, how and on behalf of whom. This book foregrounds the positive political potential of re-reading well-known texts and seeking out reasons why others have been marginalized. It examines autobiography as a form of writing at the very centre of contemporary debates on the 'self', 'truth' and 'history'. Women without a Past? offers new insights into the politics of memory and autobiography, and will be of particular interest to researchers and students engaging with women's writing and memories of Nazism.

Harvey explores the more recent historiography and questions surrounding women's involvement in right-wing politics from the turn of the twentieth century to the institution of Nazi rule in 1933. She traces various individuals, groups, and networks that competed, albeit unsuccessfully, with the Nazi movement in the final years of the Weimar Republic, highlighting along the way women's integral role within discourses of the national community.

\There are Times When Silence is a Sin\: The Women's Division of the American Jewish Congress and the Anti-Nazi Boycott Movement
The role of the Women's Division of the American Jewish Congress in the 1933-1941 boycott of German-made goods is investigated. Factors that led to the development of the Women's Division are examined; an overview of the Women's Division's objectives in combating Nazi Germany is also provided, emphasizing its work in assisting refugees & confronting anti-Semitism in the US. It is claimed that the Women's Division aided the boycott against Nazi German products by providing consumer awareness to local communities, organizing local boycott movements, ensuring business compliance with boycott standards, & picketing businesses that sold German-made goods. Moreover, it is stated that the Women's Division justified their boycott participation by asserting that their actions were patriotic in nature & promoted American democracy, that they were obligated as Jewish women to help fellow Jews around the world, & that traditional gender roles did not prohibit their participation. It is concluded that the Women's Division did impact local & national policy & facilitated the emergence of Jewish consciousness in the US. J. W. Parker
