The Rare Case
Strauss was one of the very few people who were able to avoid being deported to a Nazi camp or a Jewish ghetto.

And this wasn’t because she had forged documents or wasn’t known the authorities, it was for a few other reasons. She was a smart, attractive young woman, who over time showed her bravery, and above all had connections with a number of Germans who were prepared to risk their lives for her.

“I am bound to tell what I am told, but not in every case to believe it.”
