    Goebbels speech on March 18, 1933:   
   "German women, German men !   
   It is a happy accident that my first speech since taking charge of the   
   Ministry for Propaganda and People's Enlightenment is to German women.   
   Although I agree with Treitschke that men make history, I do not   
   forget that women raise boys to manhood. You know that the National   
   Socialist movement is the only party that keeps women out of daily   
   politics. This arouses bitter criticism and hostility, all of it very   
   unjustified. We have kept women out of the parliamentary-democratic   
   intrigues of the past fourteen years in Germany not because we do not   
   respect them, but because we respect them too much. We do not see the   
   woman as inferior, rather as having a different mission, a different   
   value, than that of the man. Therefore we believed that the German   
   woman, who more than any other in the world is a woman in the best   
   sense of the word, should use her strength and abilities in other   
   areas than the man.   
   The woman has always been not only the man's sexual companion, but   
   also his fellow worker. Long ago, she did heavy labor with the man in   
   the field. She moved with him into the cities, entering the offices   
   and factories, doing her share of the work for which she was best   
   suited. She did this with all her abilities, her loyalty, her selfless   
   devotion, her readiness to sacrifice.   
   The woman in public life today is no different than the women of the   
   past. No one who understands the modern age would have the crazy idea   
   of driving women from public life, from work, profession, and bread   
   winning. But it must also be said that those things that belong to the   
   man must remain his. That includes politics and the military. That is   
   not to disparage women, only a recognition of how she can best use her   
   talents and abilities.   
   Looking back over the past year's of Germany's decline, we come to the   
   frightening, nearly terrifying conclusion, that the less German men   
   were willing to act as men in public life, the more women succumbed to   
   the temptation to fill the role of the man. The feminization of men   
   always leads to the masculinization of women. An age in which all   
   great idea of virtue, of steadfastness, of hardness and determination   
   have been forgotten should not be surprised that the man gradually   
   loses his leading role in life and politics and government to the   
   woman.   
   It may be unpopular to say this to an audience of women, but it must   
   be said, because it is true and because it will help make clear our   
   attitude toward women.   
   The modern age, with all its vast revolutionary transformations in   
   government, politics, economics and social relations has not left   
   women and their role in public life untouched. Things we thought   
   impossible several years or decades ago are now everyday reality. Some   
   good, noble and commendable things have happened. But also things that   
   are contemptible and humiliating. These revolutionary transformations   
   have largely taken from women their proper tasks. Their eyes were set   
   in directions that were not appropriate for them. The result was a   
   distorted public view of German womanhood that had nothing to do with   
   former ideals.   
   A fundamental change is necessary. At the risk of sounding reactionary   
   and outdated, let me say this clearly: The first, best, and most   
   suitable place for the women is in the family, and her most glorious   
   duty is to give children to her people and nation, children who can   
   continue the line of generations and who guarantee the immortality of   
   the nation. The woman is the teacher of the youth, and therefore the   
   builder of the foundation of the future. If the family is the nation's   
   source of strength, the woman is its core and center. The best place   
   for the woman to serve her people is in her marriage, in the family,   
   in motherhood. This is her highest mission. That does not mean that   
   those women who are employed or who have no children have no role in   
   the motherhood of the German people. They use their strength, their   
   abilities, their sense of responsibility for the nation, in other   
   ways. We are convinced, however, that the first task of a socially   
   reformed nation must be to again give the woman the possibility to   
   fulfill her real task, her mission in the family and as a mother.   
   The national revolutionary government is everything but reactionary.   
   It does not want to stop the pace of our rapidly moving age. It has no   
   intention of lagging behind the times. It wants to be the flag bearer   
   and pathfinder of the future. We know the demands of the modern age.   
   But that does not stop us from seeing that every age has its roots in   
   motherhood, that there is nothing of greater importance than the   
   living mother of a family who gives the state children.   
   German women have been transformed in recent years. They are beginning   
   to see that they are not happier as a result of being given more   
   rights but fewer duties. They now realize that the right to be elected   
   to public office at the expense of the right to life, motherhood and   
   her daily bread is not a good trade.   
   A characteristic of the modern era is a rapidly declining birthrate in   
   our big cities. In 1900 two million babies were born in Germany. Now   
   the number has fallen to one million. This drastic decline is most   
   evident in the national capital. In the last fourteen years, Berlin's   
   birthrate has become the lowest of any European city. By 1955, without   
   emigration, it will have only about three million inhabitants. The   
   government is determined to halt this decline of the family and the   
   resulting impoverishment of our blood. There must be a fundamental   
   change. The liberal attitude toward the family and the child is   
   responsible for Germany's rapid decline. We today must begin worrying   
   about an aging population. In 1900 there were seven children for each   
   elderly person, today it is only four. If current trends continue, by   
   1988 the ratio will be 1 : 1. These statistics say it all. They are   
   the best proof that if Germany continues along its current path, it   
   will end in an abyss with breathtaking speed. We can almost determine   
   the decade when Germany collapses because of depopulation.   
   We are not willing to stand aside and watch the collapse of our   
   national life and the destruction of the blood we have inherited. The   
   national revolutionary government has the duty to rebuilt the nation   
   on its original foundations, to transform the life and work of the   
   woman so that it once again best serves the national good. It intends   
   to eliminate the social inequalities so that once again the life of   
   our people and the future of our people and the immortality of our   
   blood is assured..."
