## History

Edith was born in Berlin, Germany on April 25th, 1938 and raised by her teenage mother, Ilsa von Baur, despite the Nazis' policy of exterminating teenage mothers and mentally ill people under the Aryan law. However, under Himmler and his perfect student in the fully Aryan breeding program, Ilsa had Aryanized privileges that kept her and Edith safe. As a newborn, Edith's mother often played and read books to her in the nursery.

Unfortunately, things took a dark turn when Ilsa claimed that Edith was the result of her being raped by a staff member at a mental asylum. When one of the maids tried to take Edith away, Ilsa locked her up in her room out of fear that her child would be taken away, as her first disabled child had been taken away by staff in the past. Ilsa even threatened one of the maids with a knife and planned to murder Edith with her super strength if she disobeyed or anyone tried to stop her from threatening everyone over Edith.

Edith's trauma increased, and she became more scared as her mother forced her to be mute half the time when they walked in public. Later, it was discovered that Edith's true father was Albert Jürgen, a closeted-Jewish man who had his family hide from the Nazis. Ilsa had taken advantage of him due to his physical features for the breeding program.

When Edith was 5 years old and trapped by her mother, Elva Lehmann and her husband, police officer Abelard Lehmann, noticed signs of abuse and managed to rescue Edith at night. The next day, Edith was placed in the safety of the Lebensblood program. Her mother, Ilsa, attempted to retrieve her, but was rejected, leading to Ilsa's hatred towards Elva Lehmann.

Edith was able to have a better life with the other children in the Lebensblood program under Elva's care. However, Ilsa attempted to get Edith back and even planned to kill Elva, but the plan failed when Elva took all the Lebensblood children away and left Germany in 1943.

Despite being raised and programmed by teachers to hate Jews, Edith developed a strong bond with some members of D-Company, including Ilina, a mute-disabled African woman whom she helped to clean herself at the tab, and Pete Guiberteau, whom she helped to overcome his nervousness in meeting new people. Edith's journey with Liesel Fylkesar a Lebensblood child and friend also helped her develop empathy for others.

However, Edith later let go of her hatred, possibly due to the revelation that her biological father was Jewish. She entrusted Elva Lehmann to help others and opposed Himmler and the Nazis' attempt to exterminate Jews despite initially supporting the Lebensblood program and Eugenics.

Following the end of World War II, Edith worked as a waitstaff in Berlin, and she eventually married a German man and had two sons. One of her sons became a chauffeur, and Edith had the joy of four grandchildren. In 2006, Edith was finally able to meet her half-brothers in Israel and her birth father.

In 2002, Edith wrote a book titled "Trapped By My Own Mother, Ilsa," in which she detailed her experiences growing up in Nazi Germany, including her time in the Lebensblood program and her estranged relationship with her mother, Ilsa von Baur. She also wrote about her protective care under Elva Lehmann until they met D-Company, and her journey towards overcoming the hatred she was taught towards Jews. Edith also shared her story in the documentary series "D-Company's Children: The Lebensblood Journey," specifically in the episode titled "EDITH EINWOLFE."
