Minutiae anyone?

Another interesting bit of minutiae from the weekend vaults- watched the documentary Blind Spot about Hitler's secretary during the final phases of WW II. At the end of the war, she was captured and raped as a Russian POW. According to the film's end notes, Traudl Junge had to stop working years after the war due to severe depression. The text goes on to say that she spent most of her subsequent free time "reading to blind people."
