Speaking of brutal women, and of Israelis, some of whom are old enough to remember when they were Germans, I've also read that many silesian concentration camp survivors claim that the women guards were far more brutal than the men there too. Again, this is just what I've read, and I'm not picking on women. Frankly, they intimidate me, so I'd never pick on them, but I have read many accounts by former concentration camp inmates who've made this claim.
I believe it.
The type of woman who would volunteer for that kind of job against all societal pressures to do otherwise would be radically more agressive than the man who was drafted as number 1300251.
