The Reason for the Nazi Policies Toward Women
Hitler began to realise that women were his key to success in building
a powerful nation. He used policies to form women into the perfect
people to be mothers and care for the next generation of his fighters.
He needed these fighters to break the Treaty of Versailles as it was
something that humiliated the German people. Hitler had a very
traditional view of the role the German woman as wife and mother. In
the traditional rural areas and small towns, many women felt that the
proper role of a woman was to support her husband. This meant staying
at home looking after the home, looking after children and creating
more babies.
Hitler tempted women to have children in many ways. If you had four
children then you would receive a bronze medal. If you went on to have
six children then you would receive a silver medal. If you then went
on to have eight children you would receive a 'Gold cross' and a
privileged seat at Nazi meeting. Nazi Germany needed mothers who would
produce many children as Hitler wanted Germany to be a powerful
nation. The more children the women have the longer the Aryan race
will survive, this is known as Social Darwinism the fittest, strongest
and biggest race has more chance of surviving. Gertrude Scholtz-Klink
was seen as the ideal German women by the Nazi party. She had Aryan
looks: blonde hair, blue eyes, wide hips and a body of an athlete and
she had four children. In 1934 she was made head of the women's bureau
and was seen as the perfect role model to all German women many of the
women in Germany were coping here. As a result of this in 1936 there
was over 30 per cent more births.
It is the tradition that women stay at home and have children it is
what women was seen to be. Women were seen to support there husband,
have babies and work for the family. The Nazi were worried about the
She specifically discusses Gertrude Scholtz-Klink throughout the text, but she superficially discusses other women of power in her text as well. Women in leadership positions remained subservient to male leaders in order to gain "short-term rewards and socialization with male superiors," according to Koonz, thus allowing them some sense of power, but still remaining proper women in the eyes of Hitler. Koonz also discusses female SS Guards and how most concentration camp victims found them to be worse than the men. Koonz touches on these women of power, but the majority of her text is concerned with the grassroots and common
The Ways the Nazis Tried to Eliminate all Jews in Europe The Nazis used many methods to eliminate all the Jews in Europe from 1941 onwards. They used concentration camps, ghettos, death camps. Auschwitz Group (murder squads) and the Final Solution. The Final Solution was the plan to annihilate all the Jews out of Europe.
Anna Buschler led a very challenging life, and a very dramatic one at that. Anna was a dishonorable woman that was an embarrassment not only to her family but also of her home city, Hall. She fought her way through long, drawn out lawsuits and through the abandonment of her family, but she made the citizens of Hall believe in her, and that’s all it took. Women’s life in the sixteenth century was built around men and didn’t have the majority of rights in Germany, but Anna Buschler showed the cities around her and Germany that it could be done, that you can show the world the power of a woman.
Since the “new woman” ideal was unrealistic for many women, many could feel that they were not strong modern woman. Hitler and the Nazi party targeted that insecurity by boosting the importance of the role of a mother in Germany. Only by following the tradition lifestyle of a woman could they ever be equal with men in their contribution to the Nazi movement. Elsbeth Zander, a Nazi activist and leader of the German Women’s Order, addresses the role of women in 1926, where she explains the important impact of motherhood in Germany. Zander explains, “We women must, through our quiet, honest work, inspire the German male to do noble things once more!.” Which when analyzed critically, this quote truly means that women should be the behind the scenes of the movement, caring for the household and being strong in their soul, not actions. Propaganda supporting Nazi’s defination of womanhood was common, such as the “Healthy Parents- Healthy Children!” poster from 1934 Germany. The visuals of this poster, with an Aryan woman dressed femininely is shown happily with her many children and husband is in direct contrast to the visuals of a “new woman” who stood independently on her own, dressed androgynously. In this way, the Nazi party was not only setting the racial standard for Nazi Germany, but the gender
Nazis' Ways of Eliminating the Jews During the Holocaust In 1941, America and Soviet Russia allied with Great Britain and France to fight the Nazi forces in the Second World War. Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazis, knew he faced the most powerful nations in the world and was not ready for a long conflict. They needed to destroy the "evidence", the Jews, of the holocaust before the allied forces closed in from the west. Up to this point, the Nazis had used slow, stressful and inefficient methods of killing Jews and Hitler wanted a faster way of getting rid of them.
it may be said that the woman's is a smaller world. For her world is
By 1935 the Nazis made sure that Jews were no longer seen as a part of
n January of 1933 the Nazi regime took control of Germany with the belief that Germans were “racially superior.” Throughout this time period called the Holocaust, which is a Greek word meaning “sacrifice by fire,” the Jewish people were deemed inferior, and were the main threat to the German racial community. Though the Holocaust was a systematic and bureaucratic war, racism is what fueled the persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime. Racism is defined as “a belief or doctrine that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.” This framework of racism was what Hitler believed would “carve out a vast European empire.” (Perry,
We study the Holocaust so we can rememeber the people that were discriminated against, tortured, and killed by the Nazi Regime of Germany in the concentration camps. We study the Holocaust so we can recognize the insanity of Adolf Hitler, so we may stop it if it ever rises again. According to Edmund Burk, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". This is exactly how it happened the first time; the Holocaust happened because nobody stopped it. We have to make sure it never happens again.
The Success of Nazi Policies Toward Education and Youth Hitler and the Nazi party had a range of policies to control education and the German youth. This was mainly to ensure loyalty to Hitler and the Nazi party. Some believed in these policies and other did not but it was fear and glory and the fear of social inadequacy that made most comply. Hitler and the Nazis wanted to control the education system and youth by controlling the teachers, pupils and the curriculum.
Throughout the beginning of the twentieth century, Germany saw a dramatic increase in female employment rates. However after 1933, during the rise of Nazi regime, new societal ideals were imposed that directly opposed this social trend. Out of fear of a decreasing population, women were usually reduced to working inside their homes, as caregivers and wives. Their main role in society was to bear and raise multiple children. To encourage this, the Nazi party created the 3 German Ks, ‘children, kitchen and church’ (Layton 71). This slogan, among other programs, were created and advertised to encourage the breeding of perfect, Aryan babies, ultimately to achieve Hitler’s ideal German race (United States Holocaust

The National Socialist Party quickly turned heads in July 14th, 1933 through the Law Concerning the Formation of New Parties, by declaring itself the only political party that was "allowed to exist in the Third Reich" (156.HCCR). Soon thereafter, the political perception the Nazis were likely to enforce would transform the whole view of German culture, economy, race, and especially, the way German individuals emotionally and physically interacted with one another. One relationship in the German state that stood out in my mind was the Nazi’s view of marriage, its purpose, its use and its representation in the German state. The Nazi’s perceived marriage as a processing factory, where each partner had certain roles and purposes to fulfill. Through the creation of speeches, art and laws, the relationship that would stand to the occasion in representing the Third Reich was the relation between man and woman...marriage.
Reasons Behind the Nazis Coming to Power In January 1933, Hitler became chancellor of Germany, there are many reasons for him and the Nazis coming into power. They are long term and short-term cause, which can be classed under 3 main headings: weakness of opposition, strengths of Nazis and economic factors. The weaknesses of the opposition helped the Nazis come into power because Hitler took advantage of them. The failure of the Weimar government was a long-term reason. The government had been doomed from the start, when it took over from the Kaiser in 1918, it had many problems to face.
Imagine if the world we lived in was equal for all genders. Well did you, were you happy because of the equality then wake up cause we are already in that world. If you look around you, you would notice that both genders are very close equal in pay, in employment, and the way they are treated compared to men. The movement is still going on strong, Nazi feminism is all over social media. Some have even threatened men in very vulgar ways. All of the women actually being reasonable and fighting for the small things that aren’t “equal” the nazi feminists ruin and make others look really bad and violent. They talk about job discrimination and the judicial system but there are many supreme court justices. Also more men are put in jail than women,
