Die deutsche Mutter und ihr letztes Kind

"The German Mother and Her First Child" was the title of Haarer's widely distributed guide since 1934, which continued to have an impact well into the post-war period. Wrapped in advice on "proper" baby care, it introduced inexperienced mothers to a parenting style that seamlessly aligned with Nazi ideology. Haarer's children's book "Mother, Tell Me About Adolf Hitler!" and her role as a caseworker for racial policy issues reveal how deeply she had embraced Nazi ideology. The first part features her memoirs, written at an advanced age, covering her life up to 1933 and her time in internment. They illustrate the unteachable nature of a woman who represses her wrongdoings and creates an appearance of normality. On the other hand, we encounter a strong young girl who fights her way through life. What dynamics led this life path to converge with the Nazi regime?.
