Abstract: »This thesis addresses sexual violence in World War II in both the European and Pacific Theater. Often, the violence of these War Crimes tends to be overshadowed and not talked about. This thesis examines the stories of women, children, and men who suffered from sexual brutality in World War II and how nations try to hide or justify acts of rape and violence. By using as case studies the nations of Japan, Germany, the United States of America, and the Soviet Union, and how they either committed sexual acts of violence or handled rape cases when it came to the soldiers, this thesis analyzes the use of sexual violence during World War II to better understand its use as a tactic in modern war as well as the impact on the victims and survivors.« (Source: Thesis)
