[The conduct of deaconesses during the NS-dictatorship and the efforts to overcome these experiences. A case study on historical research].
The article is an approach to the conduct of nurses organisations and their members during the time of National Socialism as well as the following attempts to come to terms with these events. Both themes are dealt with rarely. The present state of research is outlined. In a case-study, which relies on source material from an archive of a deaconesses mother house and covers the period from 1943 to 1990, central problems are discussed exemplarily. Questions for further research are formulated and methodological problems are discussed. In this connection the special relevance of the analysis of personal files of the nurses is emphasized.
