The interrelationship of fascism and sexuality has attracted a great deal of interest, for some time. This collection offers fresh perspectives by leading scholars on the history of sexuality under national socialism, covering such topics as: the persecution of Jewish-gentile sex in the "race defilement" trials; homophobic propaganda and the prosecution of same-sex activity within the Wehrmacht and SS; representations of female sexuality in film; prostitution on home and battle fronts; sexual relations between Germans and foreign forced laborers; and reproductive practices among Jewish survivors. Moreover, the authors provide new insights into the relationships between Nazi sexual politics and anti-Semitism, and challenge assumptions of Nazism as sexually repressive; instead they emphasize the interrelationships between incitement to sexual activity, persecution and mass murder.
