Det traditionelle billede af de tyske kvinder som trofaste hustruer, der passede hjemmefronten, blegner ved Wendy Lowers Hitlers furier, en rystende beretning om de 500.000 unge tyske kvinder, som befandt sig på Østfronten, hvor de bevidnede og deltog i nazisternes folkemord under Anden Verdenskrig.

Lower provides the most complete assessment available of German colonization and the Holocaust in Ukraine, the "jewel" of the Nazi empire. In this unprecedented attempt at Nazi empire building, violence, racism, antisemitism, and militarism pervaded all aspects of everyday life. Lower argues that it was in the eastern outposts of the Reich, such as Ukraine, that the regime's core beliefs, aims, and practices were revealed.
