  • A Social Revolution in Germany
    • Women
      • Hitler believed Women's lives should evolve around Kinder, kuche, Kirche
        • There was monetary rewards marriage loans in order to try and improve the birth rate (Mother's cross)
          • The Nazi government issued these state loans to almost 695,000 married couples between 1933 and 1936.
        • During Nazi Germany, Women employment never feel below 14 million- does this show effectiveness or propaganda to change the views of the society or a fault in the sense women wanted to work despite this
          • compared with WW1 it was not as much- increased 76% between 1913 and 1918
        • Goebbels said: The mission of women is to be beautiful and to bring children into the world.
          • Was this just to appease the traditional elites? Church= with burning anxiety, only body Hitler could not control= conflict of power?
      • The ** Baby Farms(Lebensborn) contrasted with ideology= no nuclear family- Does the ideology hold any substance/ just a measure of control?
      • In the German elections of 1930 Hitler’s National Socialist Party received more votes from women than any other party
        • How far was there a social revolution? Not very as the existing conservative views were held by older women- women tended to move out of the new city women and return to rural conservative when having kids in Weimar= not significant change
    • Youth
      • Schools- indoctrinate young people into the racial ideas of Nazism and make children loyal to Hitler - this was in effect a form of brainwashing-  make young people “swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp steel”.
        • Boys Focused on History ,Eugenics and Pe- Boxing was compulsory/ Girl focused on Home economics, eugenics and PE
      • In 1933, many university lectueres weere dismissed- limited changes to universites but most remained right-leaning
        • The white Rose group formed of educated young people posed more of threat then the likes of the Swing Youth In the months that followed, dozens were imprisoned for their (real or imagined) connections to the White Rose, and some, including Graf and Schmorell, were executed.
          • Indoctrination was not complete, small minority but still remained, education allowed for enlightenment that's why it was so heavily controlled?
      • In 1931 there were 29,020 protestant, 15,256 catholic,97 jewish, 8,921 common and 295 secular schools
        • Jewish children were humiliated at school and then, in 1938, banned from education.
