Truemmerfrauen Test
- What was a Truemmerfrau?
- Why was there a need for Truemmerfrauen in the first place (ie, why was it women and not men who did this task)?
- What were two of the four cities discussed in class you'd be most likely to find Truemmerfrauen working in?
- What was the purpose for the work the Truemmerfrauen did?
- How were Truemmerfrauen "paid" for their work?
- How does the story of the Truemmerfrauen relate to what you know about the terms Common Good and Philanthropy?
- Might it still be considered philanthropy if the person or persons involved in performing an act for the common good were "paid" for what they did ? Why? or Why Not?
