Assignment
A larger issue raised by the testimonies of Frau Brixius and Frau Fischer is the question of moral agency and responsibility. The article by Mary Nolan gives you some context to frame this question. As Nolan puts it: "The debates about biological politics and gender confront us with the question that haunts all studies of women and National Socialism: were women, i.e. ethnically German women, victims or agents/perpetrators?".
Based on your analysis address the following questions in your post:
1. In your opinion, are Frau Brixius and Frau Fischer to blame for anything, or should we consider them as victims of the Nazi regime? Try to be as specific as possible.
