Despite the number of books about the Third Reich, little attention is usually paid to the women who lived alongside the Nazi leaders. Magda Goebbels (1901-1945) is arguably the most contradictory and the most intriguing among them. What made a beautiful and intelligent woman go from being deeply in love with the ardent Zionist leader Victor Chaim Arlosoroff to marrying Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda and a ferocious anti-Semite? In the eyes of many people, Magda Goebbels was the First Lady of the Reich, owing to Hitler's lifelong attachment to her. How did this devoted mother of six, the poster-child of family values during the Third Reich, turn into Medea and poison these same children? Anja Klabunde's biography examines her complex life.
