In 1940, she gave a series of lectures on the work of German People's Development and was thanked by the Nationalsozialistische Partei-Korrespondenz for her loyalty to Germany. Several of her works were translated into German. After the war, there was a ban on publication of her work that stayed in place until 1 June 1951.[3]
