Jella Lepman fled to England from Germany to escape Hitler during World War II.  After the war, she was asked by the U.S. Army to return to Germany as a cultural and educational advisor. As Jella traveled through war torn Germany, she concluded that the children needed books because so many had been destroyed during the war.  Books would bring hope and build understanding with those children and their families. Jella solicited publishers world-wide for book donations which eventually became an exhibition that traveled throughout Germany.  The exhibition, containing contributions from 20 international publishers,  eventually became a permanent international youth library. An inspirational story.  Ages 7-10.
