“An extraordinary event was Eleanor Roosevelt’s visit to the American occupation zone in the early spring of 1946. […] I also talked to her about the idea of promoting an understanding between peoples through books for children and young people. […] «I like the idea, I like it very much, please do not hesitate to tell me how I can assist you!»”
