Watch it on catch up!
“Geobbels’ secretary remembers.” Now 103yrs old
It is quite quite remarkable.
The moral choices people make and their perceived place in the world.
Lived through all the repercussions.
She remembers Goebbels’ speech boring her.
“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)
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.
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.
That is a big salary leap.
Ministry of Propaganda
The changes happened. ......
“it just happened to us”.
“No one thought about it much”
How easily we can slip into this.
Gay? Yes, Gays went there too.
“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.
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.
