A unique and trag­ic love sto­ry between two women, set against the Holo­caust and brought to life with let­ters, diaries, doc­u­ments, and pho­tographs. Aimee was a house­wife, moth­er of four, mar­ried to a Nazi offi­cer. Jaguar was a Jew­ish woman liv­ing under­ground in Berlin dur­ing World War II. This is Aimee’s remem­brance of their unlike­ly romance. The account is based on inter­views with Aimee, excerpts from her diary, let­ters and poems between the two women, and rec­ol­lec­tions of friends and family.
