DESCRIPTION:During National Socialist Germany\, women worked as guards in 
 concentration camps\, were nurses and doctors in ‘euthanasia’ centres\
 , and also worked as secretaries for Nazi officials. In performing such jo
 bs\, these women helped to perpetrate the Holocaust. Since the end of the 
 Second World War\, female perpetrators of the Holocaust have been portraye
 d in a variety of different British newspapers. This paper explores the wa
 ys in which the press has represented these  women\,  from  1945  until  t
 he  present  day.  It  analyses  how traditional  notions  of femininity\,
  such as the idea of women as naturally ‘good’\, have influenced their
  newspaper depiction. More widely\, the paper aims to address how society 
 views ‘evil’ women and the ways in which women who violate social norm
 s are conceptualised.
