The Later Years
As Germany’s military situation worsened, Marianne fled to Düsseldorf, a town which soon fell to the US Army. Marianne was free.
A short time later, Marianne moved to England. There Marianne married a Jewish man and started a family of her own. She worked as a teacher and also reported to the BBC on the rebuilding of Germany. Marianne died in 1996 and her account was published as a small article in a German Journal. Her story was put together by historian Mark Roseman in his book about her, “The Past in Hiding”.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
