German-Jewish women in the Holocaust

This thesis chronologically traces the experiences of German-Jewish women according to Nazi policies and practices from 1933 to 1945. While this thesis explores the experiences of German-Jewish women, the thesis also pinpoints instances of intersectionality. The women examined here are not simply German women. They are German-Jewish women who were persecuted on various levels as being both Jewish and female. The perpetrators of persecution were not simply German men, but rather Nazi men who adhered to strong discourses concerning both Jews and women. This thesis does not seek to pull apart or rank these identities, but rather examine and document the links between them.
