- Lili Schroeder Hahn was the daughter of a German physician and his wife who was Jewish. With the rise of the Nazi regime to power, Lili lost her job as a newspaper reporter in 1935, and her father had to give up his medical practice. Her mother was taken away and later killed. Everyday life in Frankfurt continued until the Allies began to bomb German cities in World War II. Lili survived and left Germany for the USA. Her memoir, White Flags of Surrender, described how ordinary German citizens gradually transformed under Nazi political power, and the ways in which some resisted. The book was translated into English from the original German by Sibyl Milton and published in 1974.
