    Throughout history, the male has been the most dominant figure living on planet Earth. Difficult tasks and jobs have been given to men, and women were given simpler, less demanding jobs. Women often were thought of as weak and fragile so they could not do the tasks of men; who were pictured as muscular and intelligent. Women were not given equal rights to men but in World War I and World War II, the government and society ran into a problem, and women were able to prove themselves as strong, unique, and skilled. As soldiers went to fight for their nations in World War I and II, women were left with the responsibility of replacing men in factories and on farms, which resulted in them becoming huge contributors and obtaining more independence.…

    “Later on in the Weimar Republic, resent grew for the government for offering a glimmer of freedom but discontinuing the promises made toward women’s equality” (Gardner 4). The desire to go back toward the gender norms was wanted more when men saw women trying to prosper. The New Women and liberation caused a lot of debate because it was seen as challenging male authority and the very structure of patriarchy. With the increasingly amount of men that died in war and the decreasing birth rate, women were the dominate gender. Men saw the aspects of women being the dominate gender and expressing their independence as a threat and were willing to do anything possible to end it.…

    Leni Riefenstahl exerted a significant impact on Nazi propaganda between 1933-1939 and epitomised Josef Goebbels (Minister of Propaganda) opinion that propaganda messages are most effective when they are disguised in popular mediums, contain partial truths and enable deeper emotional connections with the audience. She used her artistic capabilities to produce cinematic masterpieces portraying numerous Nazi ideologies. Riefenstahl also greatly impacted Nazi propaganda as she used eye witness accounts to reinforce Nazi's held opinions and Hitler's totalitarian ideologies which distorted reality with the partial truth and glorified the 'master race'. Her films appealed to the masses and reinforce key messages of the need for racial purity'; 'images…

    They were forced into the workforce, storing food in the camps, and did mostly everything to keep their kids alive. Women also demonstrated a greater biological resistance to starvation, were more aware of the importance of hygiene in the camps, and tended to form social groups more easily than men (Holocaust). They strive to produce a tame environment, were clustered into ghettos and often distinct from the men, so they had to adapt. On the other hand, these women showed persistence, guidance, and courage throughout these tragic…

    Source F and J challenge the view that women were just expected to replace men as they show that during the war, separate industries were introduced specifically for women, implying that woman were considered and shown some significance during the war. The land army (source F) was set up for women work in when the world wars broke out, enlistment was voluntary in WW1 but they were conscripted in WW2. In addition to this, uniforms may have been put in place to create a sense of professionalism within the environment of work. This would appeal to other women to volunteer because it would’ve made them feel that there was some importance for women, furthermore, it could increase volunteering rates. One can deduce that the women in the source seem…

    Typical German women seemed to have knowledge of the mass murder and the poor treatment of Jews. Jewish and non-Jewish women participated in rebellious activities, but seemed to be caught less often, or punished less severely. I was not expecting to find much differentiation between the actions of the genders, because Nazism is not inherently masculine, and neither is rebellion. Men and women were both targets of Hitler, and supporters of Hitler. Both seemed to participate in similar amounts and ways.…

    During World War 2, some people were mocked or made fun of in the French Resistance, such as women. The thought of women empowerment came to mind when I found this out, because throughout history women have been used as trophies. Therefore, women didn’t have many rights, except to stand tall and look like they’re having a good time. Why did the women have to do all the dirty work, like clean up after the men in their camps? Why did people have to look happy when their loved ones were being torn from them?…

    “Women recognized that isolation and separation were created by the Nazi system in the camps. They also knew that, if strength mattered, if it was even possible, it could only exist with others” (Reigleman 1985). Women depended on one another for encouragement in the camps, and all agree that more so than any material possesion friendship was most important to survival. Mothers who lost their children would foster orphaned children and create new pseudo-families as way to honor lost loved ones. Women shared recipes on how to stretch food when it was scarce and imagined their best recipes to mentally escape starvation.…

She was taught to find her place, stay in it, and teach her daughters to do the same. She was taught to be a part of her spouse rather than her own person (Levy 28). A woman in the 1940s was truly a shell of a person, a trained dog led by society and males, until the war effort needed to expand.…

    Once the 1930s came around, everything changed in Germany. Women had to cope with the abuse and had to turn it into their daily life and having to cope. Schools became an unsafe place for children to be because they were discriminated against, and stores did not want Jews anywhere near them. As Kaplan mentions, “victims…adapted to their roles by showing how abuse, insidiously and incrementally, became “normal” to some and familiar to all”. The Jews should have left sooner, but because they failed to do so women had to stay and staying was not pleasant in any way.…

    They looked up to Hitler as a deity, and referred to him as Der Fürher (The Leader). It is interesting that he was considered a God to some people considering all the awful things he had done. Most of the men of this time were recruited as soldiers in the Nazi war machine, women, however, were frowned upon by the people of this time. They were considered to some people as child-bearer and creator of the family, and were forced to give up their careers.
