Products description
One of the worst crimes in World War II was the mass rape of German women and girls by Soviet soldiers in 1944/45. Many of these women and girls were sexually abused not once, but many times. Neither children nor old women were spared. According to reliable estimates, around two million women and girls were victims of the rapes. The sheer scale of these crimes and the human suffering they cause has not received adequate public attention for decades. Only recently have these events been mentioned more often, but almost always only as part of a description of flight, displacement and forced labor. In contrast, the present book deals exclusively with the rapes and, among other things, with the questions of how and why these excesses occurred, why resistance was futile and what happened to the children who were victims or “only” witnesses of the sexual violence . Experience reports from victims and perpetrators are an essential, because authentic basis of this presentation.
