short note on Nazi cult of motherhood
Answers
Women in Nazi Germany were subject to doctrines of Nazism by the Nazi Party (NSDAP), promoting exclusion of women from political life of Germany along with its executive body as well as its executive committees.[1][2] While the Nazi party decreed that "women could be admitted to neither the Party executive nor to the Administrative Committee",[2] this did not prevent numerous women from becoming party members. The Nazi doctrine elevated the role of German men, emphasizing their combat skills and the brotherhood among male compatriots.[3]
Women lived within a regime characterized by a policy of confining them to the roles of mother and spouse and excluding them from all positions of responsibility, notably in the political and academic spheres. The policies of Nazism contrasted starkly with the evolution of emancipation under the Weimar Republic, and is equally distinguishable from the patriarchal and conservative attitude under the German Empire. The regimentation of women at the heart of satellite organizations of the Nazi Party, as the Bund Deutscher Mädel or the NS-Frauenschaft, had the ultimate goal of encouraging the cohesion of the "people's community"Volksgemeinschaft.
In 1933, Hitler said: “In my state, the mother is the most important citizen.” But the actions showed that it was not true. In Nazi Germany, women were not treated equally to the men. It was taught that if women became the part of the democratic struggle, it will destroy the society. Girls were taught to become good mothers and remain pure in the race and bear racially desirable children. If they were not able to do this, they were punished and not favoured in society. The women who bear racially desirable children were even awarded, get concessions in movie tickets and railway fares, etc. They also rewarded women with the bronze, silver and gold depending on the number of children produced by the women.
If they don’t follow these rules they were punished. Those who maintained relationships with the Jews, Poles and Russians were made to walk in the town with shaved heads, blackened faces and placards hanging around their neck mentioning “I have sullied the honour of the nation.” For such criminal offences, women were even sent to the jail and had to leave their family and children.
