Magda Goebbels - Wikipedia

Johanna Maria Magdalena "Magda" Goebbels, wife of Dr Paul Joseph Goebbels, Germany's Reich Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945. After the Soviet Red Army entered Berlin, she was offered to have her children (Helga, Hilde, Helmut, Holde, Hedda and Heide) escape the bunker. She refused. "I would rather have my children die, than live in disgrace, jeered at". She drugged them with morphine and then killed them by cyanide. She and Joseph Goebbels then committed suicide.
