Brunhilde Pomsel's 'A German Life' offers a chillingly intimate and often unsettling first-hand account of living through the Third Reich. As Joseph Goebbels' personal secretary, Pomsel had a unique vantage point, experiencing the escalating horrors of Nazism not from the front lines, but from the bureaucratic heart of the regime. Her narrative challenges the notion of absolute innocence, revealing the insidious ways ordinary people became complicit or chose ignorance. This profound memoir delves into themes of personal responsibility, denial, and memory, providing an essential historical document from one of the last direct witnesses to the Nazi era.
