Berlin 1942. Lilly Wust, 29, married, four children, led a life as did millions of German women. But then she met the 21-year-old Felice Schragenheim.
It was love almost at first sight. Aimeand Jaguar started forging plans for the future. They composed poems and love letters to each other, and wrote their own marriage contract. When Jaguar-Felice admitted to her lover that she was Jewish, this dangerous secret drew the two women even closer to one another. But their luck didnt last. On August 21, 1944, Felice was arrested and deported.
At the age of 80, Lilly Wust told her story to Erica Fischer, who turned it into a poignant testimony. After the book appeared in 1994 she was contacted by additional contemporaries of Aimeand Jaguar, who offered new material that has been integrated into the present edition.
The book, translated into twenty languages, and the film based on itdirected by Max Frberbck, with Juliane Khler and Maria Schrader in the leading roleshave made Aime and Jaguars story known around the world.
