Lilly Wust ("Aimée") was a conventional middle-class mother of four, estranged from her philandering husband, when she met Felice Schragenheim ("Jaguar") in 1941. Their passionate affair unfolded against the backdrop of the deportation of Jews from Berlin, but several months passed before Felice could even bring herself to tell Lilly that she was Jewish and living illegally on the streets. "I knew, of course, what it meant," Lilly recalled in old age. "Not for a moment did I think that I too could be in danger. On the contrary, all I wanted to do now was to save her." Lilly's heroic efforts to conceal and protect Felice through the next two years make for painful and inspiring reading. Felice was arrested in August 1944 and sent her last letter to Lilly four months later. In 1981 Lilly was awarded the German Federal Service Cross, though no one could read this as a happy ending. <I>--Regina Marler</I> 1198902 1994 Aimée & Jaguar: A Love Story, Berlin 1943 total:178|5:43|4:63|3:50|2:20|1:2| 178 659 288 29 5 0 false false Sat Mar 28 11:30:33 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 11:33:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 09:00:33 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 09:02:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Dec 08 05:23:11 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 05:23:11 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri May 22 00:54:56 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 00:56:44 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 07 13:10:27 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 13:12:08 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Dec 07 11:44:04 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 11:45:41 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 11:05:06 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 11:07:19 -0700 2009
