Women and The Church

The Three K’s

Kinder: Children Unmarried women could volunteer to have a baby for an Aryan member of the SS. Aryan : blond raze. The nazis make a law of having at least 4 childrens in a family. Mothers who had more than eight children were rewarded with a gold medal. The women had to bring children into the world, so Hitler can have more “super babies” for his army. Melanie Giunta

Keuche: Kitchen Women had to stay at home all day and prepare the three meals for their husband and children. Women didn´t go to school or university, they only had general lessons to know how to do the 3ks. Even some boys were against that rule. Melanie Giunta

Kirche: church Women were forbidden to go to church. They had to stay home making doing their duties and taking care of their children. Melanie Giunta

The Lebensborn Program It started on December 12, 1935. This project was created by Heinrich Himmler This was one of the most secret and terrifying Nazi project. The goal of this project was to duplicate the amount of Aryan children. The SS nurseries were the ones in charged of the program, they have to supervise that all the requisites were done. Santiago Castro

The parents have to be of the Aryan race, they have to be blond, with blue eyes and white skin. They had to be racially pure. They give birth secretly with the options that the SS nurseries gives them and they give their child to they so they will ocupeid for the child, they will give all this children education and adoption. The purpose of doing this it was to create this super race that will defend Germany on the future. The women that have the requisites go to the Lebensborns so they can have children's with the SS officers so they create this new super race. Santiago Castro

The first Lebensborn home was opened in 1936 in Steinhoering, a tiny village not far from Munich They were many Lebensborn homes all around Europe because Himmler's idea was to create this super race for all the world and to extinct all the other ones, he thought this because he think that his race was the best oe and then it could only exist one race. On 1939 Himmler's plan was not working that why he told the SS officials to kidnap those children that has the appearance of the super race so they can be part of this horrible thing. Santiago Castro

The worst thing of the program was kidnapping children because they were taken from their parents arms and some were orphans, they were all taken to Germany so when they grow the could matched the Nazis. On 1942 Hitler create a new policy which says that SS officers could have children with native women, this was because they were out of children and in the future the hole plan will fail because the super race will be over. This children need to have the racial criteria they have to be blond and with blue or green eyes. Santiago Castro

On 1942 when the SS leader Reinhard Heydrich was killed, one group of the SS officials destroyed a small city called Lidice, they killed everybody except for the children, of all the group of children only 91 of them were considered good for the super race so they were taken to Germany were they were matched with the Nazis, the other ones were sended to the concentration camps for children. On May 1st, 1945, after Hitler’s death, American troops enter to this homes and took about 300 children between 6 month and 6 years. This children were put in adoption and the ones that were kidnaped were send back to their countries. Santiago Castro

The NAZI version of the Christian-Protestant Church

The church in Nazi Germany was subjected to as much as other German organization. There could be no threat against Hitler because it wouldn't be tolerated. In 1933 the church had viewed the Nazis as a barrier to spread of communism from Russia. In 1933 Hitler and the catholic church signed an agreement saying that Hitler wouldn't interfere with the catholic church while the church would not comment on politics. The agreement only lasted 1937 when hitler started a concerted attack on the catholic church arresting priest, etc. Salvador S.V. - Ignacio Mantilla

The protestant church was easy to deal with because they were a collection of number of churches. The German Christians were lead by Ludwig Muller who believed that anyone who has Jewish ancestry should be kick out of the church. Muller supported Hitler and in 1933 he was given the title of Reich bishop. Those who opposed the views of Muller were called the confessing church lead by Martin Niemoller.
