BOOK DESCRIPTION
The interrelationship of fascism and sexuality has
attracted a great deal of interest for some time now. This collection offers
fresh perspectives by leading scholars on the history of sexuality under
national socialism on such topics as the persecution of Jewish-gentile sex in
the “race defilement trials”, homophobic propaganda and the prosecution of
same-sex activity within the Wehrmacht and SS, representations of female
sexuality in film, prostitution on home and battle fronts, sexual relations
between Germans and foreign forced laborers, and reproductive practices among
Jewish survivors. Moreover, the authors provide new insights into the
relationships between Nazi sexual politics and anti-Semitism and challenge
assumptions of Nazism as sexually repressive; instead they emphasize the
interrelationships between incitement to sexual activity and persecution and
mass murder.
