Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams
This is the story of Jella Lepman, who escaped the Nazi regime in Germany and returned after the war to build a traveling library of books for children that evolved into the International Youth Library in Munich.
Books for Children of the World
Presents the life of the founder of the International Youth Library in Munich, describing how she was sent by the United States Army to Germany in 1945 to assist German children and decided to build a children's library.
A Bridge of Children's Books
The remarkable story of Jella Lepman, who, having left Germany to escape the Nazi regime in the 1930s, chose to return in the aftermath of the Second World War, as 'Adviser on the Cultural and Educational Needs of Women and Children in the American Zone'. She soon decided that what Germany's war-ravaged children needed was to see a world of the imagination, beyond their landscape of bombed-out buildings and military vehicles. Battling with bureaucracy and meeting with generals and statesmen, including Eleanor Roosevelt, she founded the International Youth Library, filling a huge void in the lives of Germany's children with books from all corners of the world. The IYL included a children's art studio, story- and play-writing classes, readings, foreign language classes, and the foundation of the Young People's United Nations. In 1951 Jella Lepman founded the International Board of Books for Young People, dedicated to promoting international understanding through children's books. This is a story of tireless courage and conviction in the face of desolation and cynicism.
The Lady with the Books
A fictionalized retelling of how books from around the world helped children in Germany recuperate after WWII. Anneliese and Peter will never be the same after the war that took their father’s life. One day, while wandering the ruined streets of Munich, the children follow a line of people entering a building, thinking there may be free food inside. Instead, they are delighted to discover a great hall filled with children’s books — more books than Anneliese can count. Here, they meet the lady with the books, who will have a larger impact on the children’s lives than they could have ever imagined. The place between despair and hope can often be found between the covers of a book.
