from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ilse-Margret Vogel (born June 5, 1914 in Sibyllenort , † October 7, 2001 in Bangall , New York ) was a German-American author.

She mainly wrote books for children and young people. She is probably best known for her personal experiences in Berlin from 1944 to 1945, which she published under the title Bad Times, Good Friends - A Personal Memoire . In it she describes how she survived the last two years of the war with a small group of artists and other people, all anti-Nazis. She describes how she met Oskar Haupt, who is Oskar Huth , and later also Heinz Trökes and how she helps people in hiding with false documents, for example fake travel butter stamps from Oskar Huth. In 1950 she emigrated to the USA, where she married the artist, children's book illustrator and author Hayward Knotts.

In 2001 a docudrama entitled Daybrake, Berlin, based on the memoirs of Ilse-Margret Vogel, was published by director Laura Bialis , LA USA.
