How very apropos. Goebbel's secretary dies at 106.

Her quote about the entire German population enabling Hitler, that is what we must resist now.




Brunhilde Pomsel, secretary to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, dies at 106

By Emily Langer January 29 at 1:04 PM
Brunhilde Pomsel, a secretary to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels who late in life came forward to publicly reflect on, if perhaps not fully reckon with, questions of personal and collective guilt in the face of the Holocaust, died during the night of Jan. 27 at her home in Munich. She was 106.

>>>>snip<<<<

I didn’t do anything but type in Goebbels’s office,” she said in the film. “And I had no idea of what was behind all that. Well, very little, anyway. No, I wouldn’t see myself as being guilty. Unless you end up blaming the entire German population for ultimately enabling that government to take control. That was all of us, including me.
