Paperback. Condition: New. The soldiers who occupied Germany after the Second World War were not only liberators: they also brought with them a new threat, as women throughout the country became victims of sexual violence. In this disturbing and carefully researched book, the historian Miriam Gebhardt reveals for the first time the scale of this human tragedy, which continued long after the hostilities had ended.Discussion in recent years of the rape of German women committed at the end of the war has focused almost exclusively on the crimes committed by Soviet soldiers, but Gebhardt shows that this picture is misleading. Crimes were committed as much by the Western Allies - American, French and British - as by the members of the Red Army. Nor was the suffering limited to the immediate aftermath of the war. Gebhardt powerfully recounts how raped women continued to be the victims of doctors, who arbitrarily granted or refused abortions, welfare workers, who put pregnant women in homes, and wider society, which even today prefers to ignore these crimes.Crimes Unspoken is the first historical account to expose the true extent of sexual violence in Germany at the end of the war, offering valuable new insight into a key period of 20th century history.…

8°, Pp. Condition: Sehr gut. 350 S., Sehr guter Zustand. Anhang mit Anmerkungen, Quellen- und Literaturauswahl sowie Orts- und Personenregister. -- Die Soldaten, die am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs Deutschland von der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft befreiten, brachten für viele Frauen neues Leid. Zahllose Mädchen und Frauen (und auch etliche Männer) wurden Opfer sexueller Gewalt, überall im Land. Denn entgegen der weit verbreiteten Vorstellung wurden nicht nur »die Russen« zu Tätern, sondern auch Amerikaner, Franzosen und Briten. Auf Basis vieler neuer Quellen umreißt Miriam Gebhardt erstmals historisch fundiert das Ausmaß der Gewalt bei Kriegsende und in der Besatzungszeit. Zugleich beschreibt sie eindrücklich, wie die vergewaltigten Frauen in späteren Jahren immer wieder zu Opfern wurden: von Ärzten, die Abtreibungen willkürlich befürworteten oder ablehnten, von Sozialfürsorgern, die Schwangere in Heime steckten, von Juristen, die Entschädigungen verweigerten. Und nicht zuletzt von einer Gesellschaft, die bis in unsere Tage die massenhaft verübten Verbrechen am liebsten beschweigen und verdrängen würde.
