"Ilse Segal, survivante du camp de concentration de GrossRosen, camp annexe de Paschnitz, déclara lorsqu'elle fut appelée à déposer comme témoin: "Mais c'étaient des civiles allemandes préposées aux machines qui nous battaient. Les surveillantes SS n'avaient rien contre. Elles nous battaient et nous torturaient autant qu'elles le pouvaient". Les femmes SS participent de la pointe émergée de l'iceberg dans le cadre de l'appareil de persécution nazi. Malgré le nombre de dossiers dans les archives, elles n'ont fait l'objet d'aucune recherche autonome ni dans le domaine des études sur les femmes, ni dans celui des recherches sur la SS." (Gudrun Schwarz [1])

Ce n'est évidemment pas la même chose.  Mais parmi les nombreux Européens obsédés et remplis de haine et de cruauté contre les Juifs israéliens et Israël, une grande partie sont des femmes, de vraies "furies". Nous tous en connaissons personnellement. L'historienne de la Shoah Wendy Lower a exhumé des preuves que des dizaines de milliers de femmes allemandes, un chiffre bien plus élevé qu'estimé jusqu'à présent  (à peine 3.500) - ont participé à des activités monstrueuses impliquant l'extermination de masse auxquelles on n'a pas l'habitude d'associer "le sexe faible". Le professeur Lower a consigné le fruit de ses recherches dans un ouvrage intitulé Les Furies d'Hitler (Hitler's Furies,  German women in the Nazi Killing Fields).

Daily Mail: The Nazi women who were every bit as evil as the men: Holocaust historian uncovers the mother who shot Jewish children in cold blood and the nurses who gave lethal injections in death camps

A chilling new book has unearthed the complicity of German women who could go from being warm-hearted mothers one minute to cold-blooded killers the next. Irma Grese (centre) was a concentration camp guard responsible for multiple murders. She was hanged in 1945 at the age of 22 and was one of the few women who were called to account for their atrocious crimes. Johanner Altvater (right) and Liselotte Meirer (left) killed Jews for sport during the Third Reich.
- Chilling new book has unearthered thousands of complicit German women
- At least half a million witnessed and contributed to Hitler's terror
- Have been dubbed the ?primary witnesses of the Holocaust'
- Secretaries typed the orders to kill and filed the details of massacres
- Only a small number of women were called to account for their crimes

Blonde German housewife Erna Petri was returning home after a shopping trip in town when something caught her eye: six small, nearly naked boys huddled in terror by the side of the country road. Married to a senior SS officer, the 23-year-old knew instantly who they were. They must be the Jews she'd heard about ? the ones who'd escaped from a train taking them to an extermination camp.  But she was a mother herself, with two children of her own. So she humanely took the starving, whimpering youngsters home, calmed them down and gave them food to eat.Then she led the six of them ? the youngest aged six, the oldest 12 ? into the woods, lined them up on the edge of a pit and shot them methodically one by one with a pistol in the back of the neck.This schizophrenic combination of warm-hearted mother one minute and cold-blooded killer the next is an enigma and one that ? now revealed in a new book based on years of trawling through remote archives ? puts a crueller than ever spin on the Third Reich.
Because Erna was by no means an aberration. In a book she tellingly calls ?Hitler's Furies', Holocaust historian Professor Wendy Lower has unearthed the complicity of tens of thousands of German women ? many more than previously imagined ? in the sort of mass, monstrous, murderous activities that we would like to think the so-called gentler sex were incapable of.  The Holocaust has generally been seen as a crime perpetrated by men. The vast majority of those accused at Nuremberg and other war crimes trials were men.
