There are two messages posted below: 1) Submitted by: Doug Skopp <SKOPPDR@SPLAVA.CC.PLATTSBURGH.EDU> In addition to the authors noted by Professor Kater, a fine background to the topic in Weimar Germany is provided by Cornelie Usborne, *The Politics of the Body in Weimar Germany; Women's Reproductive Rights and Duties,* U Michigan Press, 1992. Primarily concerned with abortion, contraception and welfare legislation, this study shows how state intervention on such issues paved the way for subsequent Nazi tyrannies. With best wishes, Doug Skopp (SUNY Plattsburgh) ****************************************************************************** Douglas R. Skopp Professor of History Champlain Valley Hall 321 State University of New York at Plattsburgh Plattsburgh, New York 12901 OFFICE TELEPHONE: 518-564-52I8 INTERNET: SKOPPDR@SPLAVA.CC.PLATTSBURGH.EDU FAX: 518-564-7827 Home Telephone: 518-563-6592--But not after 9 pm EST please. ****************************************************************************** 2) Submitted by: Gabriele Czarnowski <Czarnowski@aol.com> To Liz Ten Dyke I would like to add to Elizabeth Heineman's remarks that I have recently published an article on Nazi marriage politics in the English language: "The value of marriage for the Volksgemeinschaft": Policies towards women and marriage under National Socialism in: Richard Bessel Ed., Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Comparisons and Contrasts, Cambridge University Press 1996 Brides of soldiers had to undergo a special examination at the health offices for marriage permission. I am wondering about the meaning of * the "Mutter Karte" for a few months but then nichts mehr "* your interview partner mentioned. I never heard about it. The Ehetauglichkeitszeugnis (ETZ) was valid for half a year. In the public health offices sterilizations were not performed, but in hospitals. Sometimes women were sent to hospitals for a gynecological examination in connection with an ETZ, too. If you like, contact me at my e-mail address and we can talk more about the topic.
