Family and children represent interesting subtopics of social history – including the history of the Slovak State. On the one hand, the presented text examines and analyzes the meaning of the family in the Slovak State. On the other hand, it reflects the meaning and importance of children for the state, in which Hlinka´s Slovak People´s Party ruled authoritatively. The study also brings closer the connection between family and children. During the existence of the Slovak State, the family and children had a supreme position. Both were a “national importance”. They were related to the further survival of the Slovak nation and state. Slovak children and Slovak families were in the center of attention. Children were to live and grow up primarily in their own families, while families with a large number of children were considered ideal. This is also confirmed by the pro-population policy promoted at the time. However, as the Second World War progressed, many families – especially large families – struggled with insufficient material security. In the Slovak State led by Hlinka´s Slovak People´s Party, there has been a significant politicization of the importance of the family and the politicization of care for children and youth.
