Question

Explain nazi cult of motherhood in 2marks

Answer 1

The cult of motherhood adopted by the Nazis, considered women lesser than men in terms of responsibility. The rules exerted by this regime allowed women only to carry out their motherly duties such as ensuring children were educated and to take care of their families-at home, being good spouses. Women were not to hold any positions of responsibilities in the society, like getting into politics or pursuing education. The Nazis exalted the men more, viewing the German men as more superior, especially in terms of combat skills.
