Well, you couldn’t imagine a greater contrast,” she said in the documentary.<br /><br /> Pomsel said she knew nothing of the Nazis’ atrocities during the war, including the murder of six million Jews.<br /><br /> She reportedly lost a Jewish friend in the Holocaust.<br /><br /> Held by the Soviet authorities for five years after the war ended, she lived in obscurity until her story was unearthed in an interview in 2011.<br /><br /> Former secretary to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels dead at 106. https://t.co/TdYGaSNlOh pic.twitter.com/xSHXsQCeVM— dwnews (@dwnews) January 30, 2017<br />
