Reviews
"What comes across as a sober and fact-based family history is sensational in content, and not only for readers familiar with the standards of the conservative milieu and the Prussian military aristocracy. The enigmatic Hammerstein is fascinating. The range of viewpoints present in the family, and the amphibious life his daughters lead between incompatible milieus, can exert even greater fascination." * Stephan Malinowski, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 5. August 2022 "Because the emeritus Professor of Sociology from Boston takes the liberty to interpret and elaborate the personalities of the figures, a picture of society emerges from the nucleus of the family history that provides a differentiated view of the role of the aristocracy before, during and after the Second World War. It shows that the Hammerstein daughters deliberately used their privileges and their access to higher social circles to harm the National Socialist system." * Fabian Lehmann, taz, 10. April 2023

Synopsis
Historical consensus is largely unanimous in viewing the German nobility under the Weimar Republic as completely enthralled by fascism. In this enlightening chronicle of General Kurt von Hammerstein and his family, Hammerstein's Daughters provides an important counter example to this paradigm. A staunch opponent of Hitler and his policies, Kurt von Hammerstein's daughters, Marie Louise, Maria Therese, and Helga, notably renounced their status and privileges, enabling resistance to the Nazi regime through their support of persecuted Jews and the KPD intelligence service. By documenting the heroic efforts of these overlooked women, Gottfried Paasche offers a fascinating view of his family's personal history which spotlights an alternative story of tradition, resistance, adaptation, and rebellion under National Socialism.
