Description
What exactly was the level of power and influence wielded by the wives of the virtually all male Nazi higher echelons? Were the wives of Frank, Heydrich and Hoss ,to mention but a few, merely loyal apolitical hausfraus or were these women actually very able regime insiders able to determine policy and execute decisions very much of their own choosing and making? Dr Sarti's new study focuses on some of the wives of the most powerful men in the Reich as well as several who were directly administrating the Holocaust (Hoss and Eichmann). Among the key figures discussed are Brigitte Frank (the self-styled German Queen of Poland),Lina Heydrich, Gerda Bormann, Hedwig Hoss, Magda Goebbels ,Margarete Himmler, Carin and Emmy Goring and La Senora Eichmann. Sarti's work rejects the Eva Braun historical model posited by some historians that depicts the wives of Nazi high officialdom as simply spouses with no real policy,program or cultural impact on their time.Professor Sarti's research delves into class, cultural and religious differences and makes a case for regional rivalries and turf wars involving Reich women's organizations as well as educational and care directives dealing with children and Germanization campaigns in the 30s and 40s.
