In 1945, when Jella was tasked with what seemed like an insurmountable challenge-to create a haven of imagination and joy for the children of a Germany scarred by war, she turned to a steadfast companion: books. As a Jewish woman who had fled from the Nazis, Jella was determined to restore a sense of childhood to the young people who had only known conflict and violence.
