For example, in one letter, dated April 19, 1945, she writes that, “despite the thud of artillery and falling bombs”, she is “happy to be close” to Hitler and remains “convinced that everything will turn out all right”.

We are all liars
Are you a liar? ‘No’ you will say angrily. And so will most people. Nobody like liars. But if somebody asks you a question, “Do you always tell the truth?’ your answer will not be so certain.

Lie #2, he has got terrible headache. “You look well” – you say. Lie #3. You don’t think he looks well at all. When you say good-bye, you add “Have a good time”. Lie #4 – you actually don’t wish this at all, because you have never liked him. He says “Anyway, let’s keep in touch”. Lie #5 – he hopes he will never see you again. Do you realize that in a single minute 5 lies were told?
