Erna Kronshage works at home after school as a “housedaughter
in her parents‘ business”
At that time, the profession of "house-daughter" was the
professional title for a young woman who learned
housework until marriage - an activity that was "usual"
and widespread at that time.
She lives in her family - for pocket money,
accommodation, food and insurance - today this would
probably mean: "au pair", which usually also includes
childcare in the mostly foreign household.....
Adolf Hitler says about the role of women in Nazi Germany in
1934, among other things:
“We do not consider it right for women to enter the world of
men, into their main area, but we consider it natural for these
two worlds to remain divorced. (...) What the man uses in
heroism on the battlefield, the woman uses in eternally
patient devotion, in eternally patient suffering and bearing.
Every child she gives birth to is a battle she fights for the
existence or otherwise of her people."
