• C. All mothers were not treated equally
• D. They had to be bearers of Aryan culture and race

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Equal rights for men and women

Children in Nazi Germany were repeatedly told that women were radically different from men. It was told by Nazi's that the fight for equal rights for men and women was wrong and it would destroy society.

Girls were told to be good mothers and rear pure-blooded Aryan children. Girls had to maintain the purity of the race, distance from the Jews, look after the home and teach their children Nazi values. They had to be the bearers of the Aryan culture and race. All mothers were not treated equally. Women who bore racially undesirable children were punished and those who bore racially desireable children were awarded.
