The Nazi period was undoubtedly one of the most grotesque epochs in the history of humanity. Among its many other aspects of racist crimes, one was the politicizing of the citizens’ private and personal space. Bock has illustrated the same in her essays by stating a few of the examples from the era. The Nazis enforced rules and laws that evaded personal spaces and named them for the sake of “Volksgemeinschaft” and the race of the nation. Under Hitler’s orders, many women who had descents from families with certain hereditary diseases, or probably showed tendencies of a mental ailment, were sterilized and debarred from bearing children.
