There is no doubt that the atrocities committed in WWII are hard to stomach. Most people think of the guards at the worst concentration camps as the epitome of Hitler’s regime, the blonde hair, blue-eyed, man. There were female guards through that made some of those men look like choirboys. Irma Grese, probably the most notorious of them all, was lesson in depravity who seemed to find pleasure and enjoyment in the torture inflicted on others. Find out what she said in her last moments on the gallows.
Dorothea Binz was equally sadistic. Read more about what might have caused her to develop these depraved actions. Could a broken heart be the cause of it?
The controversy regarding Ilse Koch is still ongoing today. Was she really the “Red Witch” as some claimed or did her actions have lesser consequences? While there’s no doubt she wasn’t innocent, some of the claims against her have been questioned over the years. Learn more about what she did or may not have done.
These are just a few of the stories contained in this book. We explore the mind of the female SS Guard. Some of the claims are shocking.
History can be hard to hear. If we are determined to never again let these atrocities occur again though, we must learn the lessons of them now.You won't regret reading this book.
I brought this book for a research topic on Irma Grese. This book was so badly written. I feel like it could have used better descriptions on the people mentioned. I just hated the wording of this book, I just kept thinking it wasn't very professional if that makes sense. The paragraphs were widely spaced out when they were only 2-3 lines long. Some sentences didn't go in a line they broke off as of it was another paragraph. Very annoying. There were spelling and grammar mistakes.
I did find the book interesting, I got a lot of information for my special topic but the layout of a book is extremely Important to me. It felt careless, as if it wasn't important to the author. (Sorry if it was, it's just my personal opinion)
I also found it weird that the authors name was not on the book...also it saids on goodreads that the author is Robert Jenkins and at the back of the book it saids Ryan Jenkins?
Slightly interesting but very repetitive which started to really dampen my expectations of the book. Feel like they were just trying to fill pages over and over with facts we already new
Needs an editor very badly: repetitive sentences/info - grammatical mistakes and structure needs help. Also, the book could use a better outline & focus; it should be more centered on certain guards and more information should be provided about where they were from, who they were as women before/during/after WWII as well as spotlighting their crimes. Most of the stories & character information of the infamous women guards were glossed over or touched upon somewhat but left so many questions. If given a proper editor, this could be a great book instead of just an okay one. Also, on a side note: this author also needs to really make sure he is researching using various sources; I found many historic mistakes and inaccuracies.
The writing style throughout is that of a sixteen year-old's O-level essay. Full of factual inaccuracies, beginning with chapter one, line one, first three words: "President Heinrich Himmler." Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler enjoyed many titles and ranks - none of which was 'President.' From this point it was all downhill!
This is a poorly written, poorly edited account of several female Nazi guards in a number of Germany's concentration/extermination camps during World War II.
It is less than enlightening concerning what happened to turn these women into dangerous, deadly beasts. There is, however, a chapter on how and why genocides happen. There have been many through the ages, and it appears we are on the brink of another at present.
If you crave gory tales of torture and murder, you should enjoy this book. I was more interested in learning what kind of women became Nazi guards, expecting to hear that they were sadistic monsters to begin with. What I found was something quite different.
I have researched a lot on this subject and thought this book would be informative. I found it irritating and difficult to read as it is poorly written with bad grammar and proof reading virtually non existent The subject of the book is, of course, very emotive and it's a subject to be taken seriously but I think with such poor grammar and so many mistyped words, it doesn't do the horrors of the Holocaust any justice at all.
I found this book to be redundant and not very well-written. I was expecting much more about the SS women, not merely the same stories repeated about Hitler's plans to exterminate. Overall, it was a letdown.
Sort read, not professionally done. Lack of research material and bibliography seems to support this. However interesting stories. More like a magazine article.
I got halfway through this book and had to stop reading. My 10 yr old niece could have done a better job. He repeats himself over and over again; Alot of times right in the same paragraph. I only got halfway through and I don't know how many times he mentioned Irma Grese being sexually aroused by torturing people, having an orgasm and drooling on herself while torturing/killing people. The misspellings, double spaces in the middle of a sentence..I was enjoying the information in the book and just trying to look past these things, but the farther in you get, the worse it gets! It's obvious he took some information off the internet, read a few Wikipedia pages and thought "Gee, Ill write a book." And then just repeated the same 20 sentences for 200 pages. I lost count on how many times he said "In this authors opinion" as he doled out his psychological evaluation of brutal female sadists from WW2. He fills the book with quotes from other books, repetitive statements, and photos he found on the internet. I can see now why he didn't put his name on the front of the book either. I wouldn't either. Ive read hundreds upon hundreds of books and just finished reading Ravensbruck Life and Death in Hitler's Concentration Camp For Women for the second time. THAT is how you write a book. Don't disrespect the memories of the women who were tortured, raped, saw their husbands and children murdered by writing (and trust me I use that term loosely) a book that is not historically correct in spots (Himmler was not president of Germany; that was Adolf Hitler), focuses heavily over and over and over on one woman orgasming from torturing people. I have the 4th edition and I've read reviews on every edition. They're all the same. This gentleman took some info he found, threw it together with pictures he found on the internet and managed to sell a bunch of books. I wish I had read the reviews before I got the book :)
To begin… the women on the cover of this book are NOT SS guards or even affiliated; this is a scene from an older movie. Irma Grese has been incorrectly identified as one of these women forever… eBay even sells glossies of this actress calling her Grese.
Second, women were not SS. They were not allowed. They were auxiliary or “ helpers.” They were not allowed to run a camp.
Now, every book is going to have typos. Even the great Grisham and king King. But if you’re going to POD, hire an editor!
Also cite your sources and ensure you have legal permission to use photos and notate that in your book. Otherwise you are plagiarizing. That means stealing.
You need a strong stomach to read of the horrors of the female guards . How can a person be so cruel to another human being is beyond reason. This book gives you the insight to life and death's in the camp's.
We never think of the perpetrators as anything other as monsters which makes it easy for us to dismiss what they did. By humanising them it brings home the real horror of the acts they committed.
Clumsily written, poorly edited, factually lacking. The Hundred Year Reich, really? This would serve as a middling high school essay. Robert, tighter sentences, fewer opinions.
An insight into the absolute cruelty of the female guards and the hierarchy that existed. A few typos but an interesting read. The author also puts his personal views across and gives good for thought.
I have to admit this book was a very hard one for me to finish. The cruelty these women inflicted upon innocent victims is unbearable. Its hard knowing these people really existed.
I had an idea, but not as comprehensive understanding that women, let alone that young of women were perpetrators of such atrocities. Its a spartan story, but it's informative, for as brief it is.
Have you ever heard a stand-up comic who tried too hard and just didn't have the right material to make you laugh? I believe Robert Jenkins' book, Irma Grese ..., to be along those lines. He is almost funny in a couple of instances, but when you step back and take a look at these truly evil women and the consequences of their actions in the Nazi camps, you realize there is absolutely no humor to be found. Jenkins' research and biographies of many of the women are somewhat extraordinary to imagine how they ended up in these circumstances during the war. What would their lives been like if they had not been active SS Guards for women at he camps? The book appears to be a great reference for some stand-out women during the war. There are several gaps in the telling of their stories because of destroyed records and unreliable eye witness accounts.
Honestly, I did enjoy the material of the book. However, it was a bit confusing, the author repeated himself quite often, things felt out of order, and a lot of errors as if it was not reviewed by an editor. The material was quite raw. I was expecting more stories about the women.
This short book is very poorly written. The author appears to have done minimal research and cites no sources. The stories he recounts add nothing new to the knowledge of the lives, motivations or actions of the female concentration camp guards.
This is like a untold part of WW2 that we don't think about. We thought it was a man's war. Look at all the help the women of the US were during world war 2. Call them the silent partner.
A chilling story of female guards during the holocaust. The story was well told but the writing was not well written. If you can get over the misspelled words and grammatical errors you might think the book is interesting.
This is a well written book about these young women who became evil monster just like the men. This was not an easy read and it is not for young people to read this ebook.
Nothing new. No photos beyond headshots of the SS female guards hanged. Seemed as though they all did the same things. Some were hanged, most were not.
A short book but very interesting Irma Greese is probably the most evil woman of the 20th century. Worth a read, she’s up there with the worst of the Nazis
