Brunhilde Pomsel
Age: 106
Summary: German
broadcaster and former personal secretary to Nazi propaganda minister
Joseph Goebbels who lived most of her life in relative obscurity until
a German newspaper published an interview with her in 2011 prompting a
flurry of interest in one of the last surviving people who had access
to the Nazi leadership's inner circle, who talked about her three years
working for the man responsible for spreading Adolf Hitler's ideology
in newspapers and across the airwaves in a documentary, but who
described Goebbels as a vain man whose hate-filled public speeches were
difficult to reconcile with what she said was his considerable charm
when not in the spotlight.
