“Geobbels’ secretary remembers.” Now 103yrs old

It is quite quite remarkable.

The moral choices people make and their perceived place in the world.
She remember her father being called up for the First World War.

Lived through all the repercussions.

She remembers Goebbels’ speech boring her.
When she looks pack she could see a major shift.

“it was nice in Berlin’s until 1936”

She remembers the Olympic Games.

Recordings of crowds shouting Seig Heil with the Nazi salute as troops passed through..

Happiness (chilling now)
At that time she was working for “My dear Dr Goldberg” in the morning and a Nazi in the afternoon.

As time passed she was told that she needed to join “the party” to get specific jobs.

Her Jewish friend Eva used to come around in the afternoon for coffee.
Meanwhile queues of 70-80 people at a time to join the party.

10 marks. (Remind you of anything?)

She complained about the cost to her friend Eva who said she was stupid.

But she hoped join the Broadcasting Authority.

She earned 55 marks for part time work for the doctor.
When she got the Broadcasting job it was 250-275 marks.

That is a big salary leap.

Ministry of Propaganda

The changes happened. ......

“it just happened to us”.
The concentration camps were built “for correction purposes”

“No one thought about it much”

How easily we can slip into this.

Gay? Yes, Gays went there too.
Jews next. They were all be put there.

“All together at last. Yes. We really thought that”

We would help Eva out. Buy her a coffee.

She was dainty. Petite. A big Jewish hook nose.

She didn’t have any money.

The men all really liked her.
One wonders what they “KNEW” and what the “knew but refused to see”.
The people who today say that we should have done more for the poor persecuted Jews..

We ourselves were under a huge dome, a huge concentration camp.

Even now, she says it.

Even knowing that “their” dome was nothing like the “dome” inhabited by the Jews.
I am going to have to stop.
