Story Of A Girl books, Ilse Ehlich was not a victim of the Holocaust or an Allied soldier fighting against Hitler and the Axis powers. She lived World War II Germany from an entirely different angle. Hers is the perspective of a good little girl who came home one day to find all but one of the houses on her block completely bombed out; who, with the rest of the children in her school, was registered in the Hitler Youth without knowing what that meant; who struggled with her father's religion and rigidity at a time when there seemed little to have faith in; who in her mid-teens was sent to work in Alsace, and then imprisoned as a Nazi when the allies liberated France; who almost died in captivity, from hunger and illness. Ilse ultimately found herself in partnership with, and then married to, Hans-Rudolf Wever, a fellow traveler with whom she could build faith, family, career, and - as a result of writing her autobiography - a long-missing piece of her self.
