Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS

"This is an important work, in which Carney has added to the existing scholarship in the field of family life in the Third Reich by looking beyond mothers and motherhood, to examine fathers and fatherhood."

Lisa Pine, London South Bank University, European History Quarterly, vol 49 no 3

"Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS is well documented and a significant contribution to understanding one of the darkest periods in European history. It is especially important today when historical ignorance abounds."

John A. Dick, Marriage, Families & Spirituality, Vol. 26, No. 1

"A unique piece of research, Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS advances our knowledge of Nazi racial policy specifically as it relates to Himmler and the SS and his ideas about family and population policy. Also examining issues of continuity of science, Amy Carney makes an important contribution to German history."

Hilary Earl, Department of History, Nipissing University

"Addressing the SS from a new perspective, Marriage and Fatherhood in the Nazi SS adds to our knowledge about the Nazis and eugenics, especially before Hitler came to power. It emphasizes the role of fathers, a little-explored realm of research, and engages sexual politics, while also supplementing research on the family in Nazi Germany. This book will intersect with different areas of research on Nazi Germany and push knowledge forward in new ways."
