As Dr. Lower powerfully states:&#xA0; &#8220;Genocide is also women&#8217;s business.&#8221; (p. 166)&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2014\/11\/wendy-lower-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-397\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-397\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2014\/11\/wendy-lower-2.jpg\" alt=\"Wendy Lower Headhsot\" width=\"162\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2014\/11\/wendy-lower-2.jpg 413w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2014\/11\/wendy-lower-2-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWe are honored that<br \/>\n<a title=\"Event Link: Wendy Lower\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/holocaust-education\/announcement\/hitlers-furies\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Lower will be speaking<\/a><br \/>\n about her work on Thursday, December 4, at 4 p.m. in the Bush Conference Center, Beckman 404, on the Chapman University campus.&#xA0; I hope you will attend.&#xD;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Admission is free.
