KINDER, Kuche, Kirche — not lesser-known Kardashian sisters, but Nazi ideals for women.
Heinrich Himmler reduced these “three Ks (“children, kitchen, church”) even further; women had only to “be beautiful and to bring children into the world,” opined the man with a face reminiscent of a partly baked potato.
