WW2: Healthy Parents- Healthy Children

Advertisement for a German public information brochure titled

 

During the ww2, German government needed more people to fight for war. In order to increase their population they baned all contraceptive, abortion and criminalized all homosexual male. At that time, according to their reproductively law, there would be no other race can be mix with German Aryan blood and reproductive partners must be in good health. Advertisement for a German public information brochure titled “Healthy Parents – Healthy Children” is an example of such a propaganda message to Garman citizen at that time. The first photo on the left hand side showed, everyone smiling and looks happy, healthy with a big size of  family. All children looks like their blond parents. The boy showed the masculinity with his left hand. The baby’s hand out of the poster created psychological holographic sensation experience to adults to made more children.

 

Today, “Healthy Parents – Healthy Children” definition is different. I just Google image search and almost all the image supported with a small family. For an example, the second Figure on left showed a smaller happy family with prosperity.

So, time and situation shape our society. Today we like to have smaller family and eat healthy for everybody’s health, on the other hand during ww2 Garman propaganda invested to discriminate on genders, colors and religions.
