Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Beilage vorhanden. Das Beispiel der 105-jahrigen Brunhilde Pomsel, ehemalige Sekretarin von Goebbels, wirft Fragen uber eine neue Epoche des Radikalismus auf. Ihre Geschichte warnt vor der Ruckkehr autoritarer Regime in Europa und den USA und zeigt, wie sich Geschichte durch unser Verhalten wiederholen kann. Politikwissenschaftler Thore D. Hansen nutzt Pomsels Lebensweg, um die Gefahren von Karrieredenken, unreflektiertem Pflichtbewusstsein und politischem Desinteresse aufzuzeigen. Dies wird zu einer eindringlichen Warnung vor opportunistischer und egoistischer Blindheit, die in der heutigen Zeit besonders relevant ist angesichts nationalistischer und faschistischer Tendenzen. Pomsel diente von 1942 bis 1945 im Propagandaministerium und gibt im Dokumentarfilm ,Ein deutsches Leben" Einblicke in die Banalitat des Schreckens. Sie war eine unpolitische Mitlauferin, die ihr Pflichtgefuhl und das Bedurfnis, dazuzugehoren, uber alles stellte. Erst nach dem Krieg wurde ihr das volle Ausmass der Geschehnisse bewusst. Ihre Ehrlichkeit konfrontiert uns mit der Frage nach personlicher Verantwortung im politischen Geschehen und den Konsequenzen eines wiedererstarkten Nationalismus und Populismus. Werden wir, ahnlich wie Pomsel, spater sagen: ,Wir wollten's ja auch nicht wissen".…
