A German Life
Brunhilde Pommel refers to herself as “an apolitical girl” who is a “figure at the margins,” however, she was closer than any other person alive to being one of the most notorious criminals in history. Pomsel, who is now 104 years old, was Joseph Goebbels’ stenographer. Brunhilde Pomsel lives a life that mirrors the main breaks and continuity of the 20th Century. Most people believe that fascism and war are over. Brunhilde Possel demonstrates that this isn’t true. The movie “A German Life” prompts viewers to ask, “How would you have acted?” Which principles could I have trampled to make my career more successful? The extraordinary life of her and her personal exploration into the past led to an unsettling but eternal question: What is my moral compass?”
