"[Brunhilde Pomsel], the 100-year-old former personal secretary to Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels has spoken out about her time with one of the most infamous Nazi war criminals after remaining silent on the subject for more than six decades."

If anyone were in a position to know if the National Socialists, at the highest levels, were undertaking a master plan to exterminate european jewry, surely Pomsel should be one of the most important witnesses. Goebbels had his secretarial staff record all of his correspondence, speeches, diary entries, etc., and yet none of them, like Pomsel, heard or saw anything that made them think the jews were being systematically liquidated.
"Although Goebbels masterminded the Nazi regime's virulently anti-Semitic propaganda machine, Ms Pomsel told Bild that she only learned about the Holocaust when she was released from captivity five years after the end of the war. "I was a stupid and politically disinterested nobody from a simple background," she said.
At the end of the day, despite her obvious "denazification," Pomsel obviously liked the years she spent with the "nazi monster" Goebbels:
"He was a pleasant boss and a fatherly friend," she said.
