Berlin - Paris, Die Geschichte der Beate Klarsfeld

A Documentary film. Brunhilde Pomsel always described herself as just being a side-line figure and not at all interested in politics. Aged 105, Pomsel used to work as secretary, stenographer and typist for the Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Pomsel’s life mirrors the major historical ruptures of the 20th century and German life thereafter. The film forces viewers to ask themselves what they would have done and whether they would have sacrificed any possible moral principles in order to advance their own careers.
