Samenvatting

____________________________ 'The last surviving eyewitness to the Nazi power apparatus … Her memories are remarkable given her age. Yet this book is also notable for what is not recalled … These gaps result not from memory’s decay, but from willful denial … An effective warning' - Gerard DeGroot, The Times 'Whatever Pomsel's degree of guilt, her choice of words and actions raise important questions about coercion and complicity ... Reading this book we must hope that we can learn from history in a way that she could not' - Daily Telegraph ____________________________ I know no one ever believes us nowadays – everyone thinks we knew everything. We knew nothing. It was all a well-kept secret. We believed it. We swallowed it. It seemed entirely plausible. Brunhilde Pomsel described herself as an ‘apolitical girl’ and a ‘figure on the margins’. How are we to reconcile this description with her chosen profession? Employed as a typist during the Second World War, she worked closely with one of the worst criminals in world history: Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. She was one of the oldest surviving eyewitnesses to the internal workings of the Nazi power apparatus until her death in 2017. Her life, mirroring all the major breaks and continuities of the twentieth century, illustrates how far-right politics, authoritarian regimes and dictatorships can rise, and how political apathy can erode democracy. Compelling and unnerving, The Work I Did gives us intimate insight into political complexity at society’s highest levels – at one of history’s darkest moments. ____________________________ 'Not only one of the most important contributions to analyses of the Holocaust, but in light of today’s political situation, it is a long overdue, timeless warning to today’s generation and those yet to come' - Daniel Chanoch, Holocaust Survivor
