Verwicklung, Beteiligung, Unrecht : Frauen und die Ustasa-Bewegung

"The book details for the first time the political stances and courses of action taken by female activists of the Croatian fascist Ustaša Movement, as women were also deeply entrenched in the founding, formation and therefore the crimes committed by the Independent State of Croatia between 1941-1945. From a dual perspective of how women were seen by the Ustaša and which roles they actually played, the author explores which feminine ideals were propagated by the Ustaša state and to what extent women fulfilled them. Interviews with prominent members of the Ustaša Movement have furthermore shed light on how female supporters of the Ustaša Movement look back on and evaluate their past." -- From publisher's website.
