Rassenschande

- 2010, Helene J. Sinnreich, “The Rape of Jewish Women during the Holocaust”, in Sexual Violence against Jewish Women during the Holocaust, Hanover and London: University Press of New England, page 116:
- In fact, some historians’ mistaken belief about the unwavering German implementation of both Rassenschande and their genocidal policy has caused them to turn a blind eye to numerous sources, German and Jewish, that testify to the realities of Jewish women’s experiences during the war.
