Description

In the Berlin of 1942, Lilly Wust was married to a soldier and was the mother of four children.

Her quiet domestic life was forever changed when she met and fell in love with Jewish Felice Schragenheim.

Aimee and Jaguar, as the two called one another, embarked on an ecstatic affair, exchanging letters and poems and even signing a marriage contract.

After only a year, their happiness was destroyed by the Gestapo: Felice was taken away to the Theresienstadt concentration camp.

Lilly received a last letter from Felice in 1945. Erica Fisher has documented this extraordinary story after spending countless hours talking to 80-year-old Lilly, and to friends and acquaintances of the two women.

Her account, together with a collection of photographs, is a witness to an unusual love in a time of extremes.
