Sample Book Insights:

#1 The Weimar Republic saw an explosion of ragtag movements, vigilante groups, and organized parties of all stripes. The Woman Question appeared in more diffuse, contradictory forms in Weimar culture and politics.

#2 The 1920s was when ordinary Germans experienced an expansion of individual liberties and a greater degree of political power. However, this also contributed to the political polarization and dysfunctional coalitions of the fragile republic.

#3 German women were not disproportionately attracted to the Nazi Party, and many were active supporters of Hitler’s cause, but they cannot be blamed for voting Hitler into power democratically.

#4 The increase in female prisoners meant an increase in female guards, who were recruited from the Nazi Party Women’s Organization. The guards had a brutal attitude toward the prisoners, and many were pressed into service to fulfill compulsory labor duty.
