In Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler created the Cross of Honour of the German Mother in 1938 to honor mothers of large families and promote population growth.
- Bronze: 4–5 children
- Silver: 6–7 children
- Gold: 8 or more children
The medals were formally awarded, often in ceremonies on Mother’s Day (Muttertag), as a public tribute to mothers seen as vital to the nation’s future strength.
Germany set a perfect example in valuing motherhood 👩🍼❤️
Fast-forward to today:
Europe's birth rates are plummeting, threatening our cultural heritage and population.
Imagine if our leaders actually cared about preserving European demographics, they'd roll out real incentives like tax breaks, childcare support, or honors for big families to encourage growth.
