Eva Herman (born Eva Feldker 9 November 1958 in Emden, Lower Saxony)[citation needed] is a German author and television presenter. She worked as a news presenter on the nationwide Tagesschau news programme from 1989 to 2006 and also presented various other television programmes for the Norddeutscher Rundfunk until 2007. In 2003, an opinion poll by TNS Emnid professed Herman to be "Germany's favourite presenter"[1]. However, a number of her statements in books and the media regarding gender roles and family values led to widespread public controversy in 2006 and her dismissal from the German national broadcaster ARD the following year.
[edit] Controversies
Herman in 2006 and 2007 published two controversially received[2] books regarding to her beliefs on gender roles and family policy.[3][4] In the public debate that followed[citation needed], Eva Herman gave a public comment in a press conference where she stated that the esteem for motherhood had been 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. On grounds of this statement she was subsequently accused[by whom?] of promoting Nazi ideals.
