Items related to Aimee and Jaguar
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.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Vivid and compelling.As moving and inspiring as it is tragic.'Lillian Faderman, author of Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers_________________________________________Berlin 1942. Lilly Wust, twenty-nine, married, four children, led a life as did millions of German women. But then she met the twenty-one-year-old Felice Schragenheim.It was love almost at first sight. Aimée (Lilly) and Jaguar (Felice) started forging plans for the future. They composed poems and love letters to each other, and wrote their own marriage contract. When Jaguar admitted to her lover that she was Jewish, this dangerous secret drew the two women even closer to each other. But their luck didn't last. On August 21, 1944, Jaguar was arrested and deported.At the age of eighty, Lilly Wust told her story to Erica Fischer, who turned it into a poignant testimony. The book, translated into twenty languages, and the film based on it-directed by Max Färberböck, with Juliane Köhler and Maria Schrader in the leading roles-have made Aimée and Jaguar's story known around the world.
