Cultural historian Elissa MailaÌnder examines the daily work of twenty-eight women employed by the SS to oversee prisoners in the concentration and death camp Majdanek/Lublin in Poland. Many female SS overseers in Majdanek perpetrated violence and terrorized prisoners not only when ordered to do so but also on their own initiative. The social order of the concentration camp, combined with individual propensities, shaped a microcosm in which violence became endemic to workaday life. The author's analysis of Nazi records, court testimony, memoirs, and film interviews illuminates the guards' social backgrounds, careers, and motives as well as their day-to-day behavior during free time and on the "job," as they supervised prisoners on work detail and in the cell blocks, conducted roll calls, and "selected" girls and women for death in the gas chambers. Scrutinizing interactions and conflicts among female guards, relations with male colleagues and superiors, and internal hierarchies, Female SS Guards and Workaday Violence shows how work routines, pressure to "resolve problems," material gratification, and Nazi propaganda stressing guards' roles in "creating a new order" heightened female overseers' identification with Nazi policies and radicalized their behavior.--Publisher. 610 20 $a Majdanek (Concentration camp) $x Officials and employees. 650 0 $a Women concentration camp guards $z Lublin. $z Lublin. 650 0 $a National socialism $x History. 650 0 $a Concentration camps $z Lublin $z Lublin $x History. 650 0 $a Violence $x History. 610 24 $a Majdanek (Concentration camp) 610 27 $a Majdanek (Concentration camp) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00723560 650 7 $a Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909111 650 7 $a Women concentration camp guards. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177522 651 7 $a Poland $z Lublin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206018 610 27 $0 (DE-588)4268005-0 $0 (DE-588)4268005-0 $a Konzentrationslager Majdanek $2 gnd 650 7 $0 (DE-588)4342624-4 $0 (DE-588)4342624-4 $a Aufseherin $2 gnd 610 27 $a Majdanek (koncentrationslaÌger) $2 sao 650 7 $a VaÌktare $x nazism $x nazism $z Tyskland $z Tyskland $y Andra vaÌrldskriget. $y Andra vaÌrldskriget. $2 kao 650 7 $a Arbetsuppgifter. $2 kao 650 7 $a VaÌld $x mord. $x mord. $2 kao 650 7 $a FoÌrintelsen. $2 kao 650 7 $a Security officers $x Nazism $x Nazism $z Germant $z Germant $y Second World War. $y Second World War. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Tasks. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Violence $x murder. $x murder. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a Holocaust. $2 kao//eng 650 7 $a FaÌngvaktare $x genusaspekter. $2 sao 650 7 $a Polen $z Lublin. $2 sao 700 1 $a Szobar, Patricia, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826034841.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160325010509.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E5A9F606F24E11E5A9D55DC2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
