In the heart of Hitler\u2019s 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 \u2013 known as Liselotte or \u201cLilo\u201d \u2013 who, along with her husband Erich, hid Jews in their home in Berlin, before arranging safe passage for them out of Germany. The couple\u2019s 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.
