# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Gertraud Junge was twenty-two when she became Adolf Hitler's private secretary in December 1942. She worked at his side until April 1945, typing his will in the Führerbunker before remaining there through his death. Arrested in June 1945, she was interrogated by both Soviet and American forces, then released to rebuild a quiet life in West Germany. For decades she worked as a secretary and said little. In old age she published her memoirs, confessing not to active complicity but to a failure of curiosity — a young woman who claimed ignorance of the atrocities unfolding around her, yet blamed herself for never seeking the truth when reports surfaced. Her account, published as *Until the Final Hour*, became the backbone of the 2004 film *Downfall*.
