In case you missed it: "A Privileged Marriage," WWII love story on Boing Boing Video
If you took a break from your normal daily blog diet over the holidays, you may have missed a special episode of Boing Boing Video, embedded above: A Privileged Marriage. On the eve of the Third Reich, a young woman of Jewish descent married a non-Jewish man, the heir to a prominent brewing family. The Nazis would later ban marriage between Jews and non-Jews, but classified theirs as a "privileged marriage." That decree saved her life while millions died. Her name is Elizabeth Pschorr, and she tells us her story in this video.
