  • This is of course, also the ‘positive’ vision of Nazism. Goebbels said, ‘When we eliminate women from public life, it is not because we want to dispense with them, but rather we want to give them back their essential honour… the outstanding and highest calling of women is always that of wife and mother.’ Cited in.
