About the Author
The author, Edith c. Rogers, was 'born in Saarbruecken, Germany in the early 19308. When she was two years old, she was sent on a visit to her great aunt in Stuttgart, Germany. This visit was to be for a few weeks, but she remained for the next twenty years.

When the first race laws regarding inter-marriage with Jews were passed, her father divorced her mother and abandoned her. Considering the political climate in Germany, staying in Stuttgart was thought to be best for the little girl. While no one ever could have imagined what was in store for the Jews in Germany, this without doubt saved the author's life. While no official papers for guardianship or adoption were ever filed, the author came to think of the family in Stuttgart as her own and even used their name sometimes. The author has four children, ten grandchildren and one great-grand child. She is currently enjoying retirement and living in the Chicago, Illinois area.
