4. Not All Women Who Participated in WWII Were Heroic Women
Not all women who took part in WWII did so honorably or selflessly. Just like men, there was no shortage of venal women who performed evil deeds during that conflict. One of the most venal might have been Stella Kubler (1922 – 1944), nee Goldschlag. Also known as “The Blond Ghost” and “Blond Poison”, Kubler was born and raised as the only child of an assimilated middle-class Jewish family in Berlin, and was treated like a princess by overprotective parents.
Her family was well off, but not as affluent as other Jewish families whose children attended her school. That ate at and filled Stella with resentment against her wealthier peers. When an opportunity to came to retaliate against those with the audacity to have been wealthier than her, Stella grasped it with both hands. During WWII, she became infamous for collaborating with the Gestapo to track down and denounce Jews hiding from the Nazis.
