Hardback. Zustand: Good. By the time of her execution at thirty-six, Maria Mandl had achieved the highest rank possible for a woman in the Third Reich. As Head Overseer of the women's camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau, she was personally responsible for the murders of thousands, and for the torture and suffering of countless more. In this riveting biography, Susan J. Eischeid explores how Maria Mandl, regarded locally as 'a nice girl from a good family,' came to embody the very worst of humanity. Born in 1912 in the scenic Austrian village of Munzkirchen, Maria enjoyed a happy childhood with loving parents - who later watched in anguish as their grown daughter rose through the Nazi system. Mandl's life mirrors the period in which she lived: turbulent, violent, and suffused with paradoxes. At Auschwitz-Birkenau, she founded the notable women's orchestra and 'adopted' several children from the transports - only to lead them to the gas chambers when her interest waned. After the war, Maria was arrested for crimes against humanity. Following a public trial attended by the international press, she was hanged in 1948. For two decades, Eischeid has excavated the details of Mandl's life story, drawing on archival testimonies, speaking to dozens of witnesses, and spending time with Mandl's community of friends and neighbours who shared their memories as well as those handed down in their families. The result is a chilling and complex exploration of how easily an ordinary citizen chose the path of evil in a climate of hate and fear.…

Zustand: new. Pages: 480 Language: Estonian. Maria Mandli, Auschwitz-Birkenau naiste koonduslaagri peavalvuri pimeduse teekond SS-valvuri Maria Mandli, natsirezhiimi ühe kõige kurikuulsama ja vastuolulisema tegelase kartmatult kirja pandud elulugu. Uute üksikasjade ja varem avaldamata fotodega uurimus paljastab, kuidas süütust maatüdrukust sai kalgi südamega mõrtsukas, keda kutsuti Auschwitzi elajaks. 36-aastaselt hukkamisele saadetud Maria Mandl oli Kolmandas Reichis saavutanud naise kohta kõrgeima võimaliku auastme. Auschwitz-Birkenau naistelaagri peavalvurina oli ta isiklikult vastutav tuhandete mõrva ning veel enamate inimeste piinade ja kannatuste eest. Selles elulooraamatus uurib Susan J. Eischeid, kuidas Mariast, keda kodupaigas tunti kui "heast perest pärit toredat tüdrukut", sai inimkonna pahupoole kehastus. 1912. aastal Austrias Münzkircheni külas sündinud Maria veetis õnneliku lapsepõlve armastavate vanematega, kes pidid hiljem ahastusega pealt vaatama, kuidas nende tütar natsisüsteemis üha kõrgemale tõuseb. Mandli elu on igati ühe tormilise, vägivaldse ja mõistusvastase ajastu peegeldus. Auschwitz- Birkenaus rajas ta märkimisväärselt hea naisorkestri ja "lapsendas" mitu laagrisse saadetud last - vaid selleks, et nad pärast huvi hääbumist gaasikambrisse vedada. Avaliku kohtuprotsessi järel, mida kajastati ka rahvusvahelises meedias, määrati ta 1948. aastal poomissurma. Eischeid on Mandli eluloo üksikasju uurinud kaks aastakümmet, põhinedes arhiveeritud tunnistustel, olles kõnelnud kümnete pealtnägijatega ning veetnud aega Mandli sünnipaigas tema sõprade ja naabritega, kes jutustasid nii oma isiklikke kui ka põlvest põlve räägitud mälestusi. Tulemus on kõhedust tekitav lugu selle kohta, kui hõlpsasti võib tavaline inimene valida viha ja hirmu olustikus kurjuse tee. 9789916711781.…
