Summary

¿Es cierto que los hijos de Joseph Goebbels fueron asesinados en el búnker del Führer? ¿Es cierto que fue su propia madre, Magda, quien los mató poco antes de quitarse la vida? ¿Y si no fue así?

Ignacio Padilla juega con la posibilidad de que los seis niños pudieran haber salido con vida del búnker. No sólo eso, imagina los destinos que cada uno pudo haber vivido y sus identidades reconstruidas ya siendo adultos. Alguna podría haber vivido en el puerto de Malombrosa (el puerto imaginario de su Espiral de artillería) o en Argentina. Quizás uno de los pequeños escapó por una serie de túneles que lo alejaron de una muerte segura. Una de las hijas, tal vez, se convirtió en una promesa de los escenarios, en una prima donna.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Is it true that Joseph Goebbels’ children were murdered in the Führer’s bunker? Is it true that his own mother, Magda, was the one who killed them shortly before taking her own life? What if this didn’t happen?
 
Ignacio Padilla plays with the possibility that the six children might have come out of the bunker alive. And not only that, but he also imagines what each of their fates might have been, their identities reconstructed as adults. One of them might have lived at the port of Malombrosa (the imaginary port of his Espiral de artillería), or in Argentina. Maybe one of the little ones escaped through a series of tunnels that took him far away from a certain death. Perhaps one of the daughters became a rising star, a prima donna.
