Oakton Professor Authors Book on Women’s Role in Holocaust
Wendy A. Sarti, professor of history at Oakton, chronicles the role of women during the Holocaust in a book just published by Academica Press.
Women and Nazis: Perpetrators of Genocide and Other Crimes During Hitler’s Regime, 1933 – 1945 culminates 10 years of research by Sarti and analyzes women who performed genocidal acts on behalf of the Third Reich. Her first book also documents various women, including camp guards, a Nazi wife, and a doctor all brought to trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Sarti received her master’s and bachelor’s degrees in history from Roosevelt University.
Joining the Oakton faculty in 2005, she received tenure in 2008 and was promoted to full professor in 2009. She is responsible for developing several new courses, including the History of Genocide and History of the Holocaust.
