In 1936, 12-year-old Ingelore Rothschild was whisked away to Japan to escape anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany. Ten years later, she sailed for the United States. Along the way, she recorded the memories of her turbulent life thus far, including the long train journey through Russia and living in Japan during World War II.
Those writings were published recently as "The Wolves at My Shadow: The Story of Ingelore Rothschild," edited by her daughter, Darilyn Stahl Listort, and son-in-law, Dennis Listort.
"The story of Ingelore and her prominent German Jewish family's escape is an invaluable account that contributes to Holocaust witness and memoir literature," according to a press release.
Stahl Listort and Listort, both retired school teachers and administrators, live in Boynton Beach. Rothschild passed away in 2006, but her story lives on.
