Eva Herman (Eva Herrmann, born 9 November 1958 in Emden, Germany as Eva Feldker) is a German TV host and author. She worked as an anchorwoman on the nationwide Tagesschau program from 1989 to 2006 and also presented various other TV shows for Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR)until September 2007. She has published two books about her concept of role male/female roles and family policy.[1][2]
She gave a public comment in a press conferecnce where she stated that the esteem for motherhood was abolished by the 68 movement along many values after they were abused by the Nazis. She explicitly distanced herself from every praise for the Nazis, but criticised the 68er's iconoclastic attempt to redefine values and traditions.
Her employer, the North-German Broadcasting Station NDR, laid her off afterwards; the programming director of the NDR, Volker Herres, commented: "Mrs Hermann is free to continue her Mutterkreuzzug (neologism from Kreuzzug, crusade, and Mutterkreuz, a Nazi medal for women with four children or more), but this is no longer conformable with the role of a NDR TV anchorwoman." [3]
In the German Talkshow "Johannes B. Kerner", the moderator ended a debate where the other guests questioned Mrs Herman's ability to critizise the 68 movement. This led to a media outrage and to a polarised debate about the freedom to one's opinion on the one side and the role of modern women on the other side.
Eva Herman is active in charities against breast cancer.
