While Heinrich Himmler orchestrated the Holocaust and oversaw the SS, his wife Margarete Himmler remained one of his most devoted supporters. A committed Nazi and outspoken antisemite, she embraced Adolf Hitler's ideology, visited concentration camps, and never publicly questioned her husband's role in the murder of millions. Yet behind the scenes, she was mocked by the wives of senior SS leaders, humiliated by Himmler's long-term affair, and lived in the shadow of one of history's most notorious criminals.
Discover the life of Margarete Himmler, her marriage to Heinrich Himmler, her place within the inner circle of the Third Reich, her work for the German Red Cross during the Second World War, her arrest after Nazi Germany's collapse, and her postwar claims that she knew nothing about her husband's crimes.
