Described as "a shocking document and indictment at the same time" (Frankfurter Rundschau), the biography "My Wounded Heart," published in 2002, received surprisingly large national and international resonance. Based on over 500 letters from the family, Martin Doerry tells the story of his grandmother, the doctor Lilli Jahn (1900-1944) from Immenhausen near Kassel, who was abandoned by her non-Jewish husband, separated from her five children, and ultimately killed in Auschwitz in 1944. After her arrest, only the children remained loyal to their mother, sending letters to the camp almost daily, to which she responded on smuggled paper. For the first time, this edition publishes a significantly shortened version of Lilli Jahn's biography.
