Publisher's Synopsis

A follow-up to My Secret Camera, this photographic testimony for children is the inspiring story of Elsie Kuhn-Leitz, a member of one of the wealthiest families in Germany, who risked everything in order to help those who were being persecuted by the Nazis during the Second World War. The Gestapo found out about Elsie's activities, and she was torn from her children and imprisoned in dreadful conditions. The book tells a story of courage and self-sacrifice in a time of great adversity, illustrated with photographs from the Leica archives and from Elsie's own family collection.
