The usual greeting of the father by his children, taken in the summer of 1944 from the house at Bogensee. Joseph Goebbels had barely left his car when they happily rushed towards him.

1945

Letter written by Magda Goebbels from Schwanenwerder, dated February 1945, adressed to Helene ('Heli') Bouhler.

There's no date written on the letter, but the ink docket notes "12/2/1945". In the second picture, I underlined the word Kinder ("children") in red.

My dear Heli!

(...) A thousand thanks for thinking of me on my birthday and for the lovely chrysanthemums you sent me.

The children are growing and developing nicely and that is a great happiness for us. My husband works like a horse and I follow my obligations as well as I can. In this difficult time and with the added burden of more work for all of us I am nonetheless happy and in good form as far as my health is concerned. At the moment I am undergoing a course of injections for weight gain because I weigh only [?] kilograms. How much I long to see you again. If you don't come to Berlin I think I must invite myself to Nuszdorf. I would really like to do that after Christmas if you can't come to Berlin first. We are still in Schwanenwerder but at the end of the month we shall go to Berlin for three months.

1944

Neues Volk. 1944 Calendar of the Racial Political Office of the NSDAP. 

One of the calendar sheets depicts Helga, Hilde, Helmut, Holde, Hedda and Heide Goebbels with their father in 1942.

Under the photograph, a quote by Joseph Goebbels can be read:

“I am making a very personal commitment when I say that children are our greatest happiness and our richest blessing on earth. They give joy and sunshine to our personal lives, and they also vouch for the immortality of our entire people.”

Locks of hair from Goebbels children

Bronze case that belonged to one of Goebbels children's nannies. According to the auction house, this case was a personal gift from Joseph Goebbels to one of their children's nannies. On the top of the case, there is a button bearing a sun wheel swastika. Size of the case: 18x14 cm.

Inside the case there are six locks of hair from Joseph Goebbels children. Sadly, no more information is given.

source: Ratisbons Auction House. Sadly, there isn't any official document that proves that these six locks of hair truly belonged to the Goebbels children, only the consignor's word.
