Goebbels children

Rare card · No. 39192

The Goebbels children were the five daughters and one son born to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and his wife Magda. The children, born between 1932 and 1940, were murdered by their parents in Berlin on 1 May 1945, the day both parents committed suicide. Magda Goebbels had an elder son, Harald Quandt, from a previous marriage to Günther Quandt. Harald, then aged 23, was a prisoner of war when his younger half-siblings were killed. There are different theories of how they were killed; the most supported theory is that they were murdered with cyanide capsules given to them by their mother or by another person acting according to their mother’s orders.
