Aimee and Jaguar - Erica Fischer
In the Berlin of 1942, Lilly Wust was married to a soldier and was the mother of four children. Aimee and Jaguar, as the two called one another, embarked on an ecstatic affair, exchanging letters and poems and even signing a marriage contract. Her quiet domestic life was forever changed when she met and fell in love with Jewish Felice Schragenheim.
Lilly received a last letter from Felice in 1945. After only a year, their happiness was destroyed by the Gestapo: Felice was taken away to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. 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.
