在这部德式生活纪录片/传记片中,布伦希尔德·庞塞（Brunhilde Pomsel）自称是一个“非政治化的女孩”和一个“边缘人物”，但她比其他在世的人更接近世界历史上最恶劣的罪犯之一。如今104岁的庞塞曾担任纳粹宣传部长约瑟夫·戈培尔的速记员。布伦希尔德·庞塞的一生反映了20世纪所有的重大突破和延续。许多人认为，战争和法西斯主义的危险已经被克服。庞塞清楚地表明，情况并非如此。《德式生活》让观众自动问道：如果是我，我会怎么做？我可能会背叛什么原则来推动我的事业？她非凡的传记和对过去的个人旅行导致了令人不安但永恒的问题。我自己的道德指南针有多可靠？
Brunhilde Pomsel describes herself as an "apolitical girl" and a "figure on the margins," but she got closer to one of the worst criminals in world history than anyone else left alive. Today aged 104, Pomsel served as Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels' stenographer. Brunhilde Pomsel's life mirrors all the major breaks and continuities of the 20th century. Many people think that the dangers of war and fascism have been overcome. Brunhilde Pomsel makes it clear that this is not case. "A German Life" makes the viewer automatically ask: How would I have acted? What principles might I have betrayed to advance my career? Her extraordinary biography and personal journey into the past lead to the disturbing but timeless question: How reliable is my own moral compass?
