The remarkable resistance of Lilo
Lilo and Erich Gloeden hid Jews from the Nazis in wartime Berlin.
In the heart of Hitler鈥檚 Nazi Germany, members of the Resistance worked tirelessly and at great risk to themselves to help those whose lives were threatened. Amongst them was Elisabeth Charlotte Gloeden 鈥 known as Liselotte or 鈥淟ilo鈥 鈥 who, along with her husband Erich, hid Jews in their home in Berlin, before arranging safe passage for them out of Germany. The couple鈥檚 efforts went undetected until 1944 when they took in General Fritz Lindemann, who was being hunted by the Gestapo for being part of the plot to assassinate Hitler.
