The Celebrations in the Life of the SS Family
This publication explains the
meaning of the different celebrations and gives guidance to the families of how
to celebrate these occasions in the right spirit. Through reading this booklet,
every SS Man and SS Woman should come to a deeper understanding of these
celebrations.
This booklet should provide a
constant companion especially for the women, as most of the preparations will
fall to them.
The knowledge of the customs of
our forefathers gives us inner peace; keeping to these customs gives us
direction and strength.
F. Weitzel
SS Lieutenant General.
The
typical SS Corner showing the family chest which is filled with cherished
family and SS mementos; upon the chest in the centre is the Jul Earthenware
Candlestick with two Jul Plates, and to one end the Family Book; behind the
chest is a wall drape with beautiful traditional motifs; the chest is made to
the requests of the family, and can be encountered with carved Runic Symbols
The
home of an SS Man should be recognizable through its SS corner which is set
aside for special celebrations of his family. In this corner all those things
should be kept which remind us of our higher duties. From this Jul corner and
SS corner a happy and strong glow should envelope the whole house and all the
people living in it. In this corner all those things should be kept which
strengthen the voice of our blood and the duties to land and Folk, everything
that demonstrates our beliefs.
The
corner should be dominated by the family chest, holding any family heirlooms
and the different decorations which are used during the year. A small table may
be used at first, but gradually every family should have its own chest.
The
Jul Earthenware Candlestick stands on the chest all year round, surrounded by
the Jul Plates, one for each member of the family, which are being used for all
the yearly celebrations as well as for birthdays, weddings, and the day of
death. At times the Jul Plates are replaced by the Jul Wheel, which is used for
holding the Tree Of Life, Advent Wreath, Easter Wreath, May Wreath, Solstice
Wreath, and Harvest Wreath. The wall behind the chest should be hung with the
picture of The Leader and the Reich Leader of the SS, family pictures and
ancestor's names, memorabilia of war times. The large SS Runes the handsome
Swastika must be there, too.
