Wendy Lower (born 1965) is an American historian and a widely published author on the Holocaust and World War II.

Lower was an associate professor at the Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University for the 2011-2012 academic year.

Lower considers arrogance, fear, jealousy, and Slavic and Communist as the central declarations for the imperial policy of the Nazis in Eastern Europe.

"[4] Lower's resulting work, Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields, was published in English in 2013 and then translated into 21 languages.

She examines their attempts to carry out their objectives to "conquer Slavic peoples ... and the murder of its Jews" and addresses the question of why these female perpetrators were not brought to justice after the war.
