Jella Lepman
First domicile in Kaulbach
Street
Jella Lepman began her work immediately after the end of World War II
with an international exhibition of children's books in Munich. She saw
this as an opportunity to find new hope and values after the years of
Nazi terror and the horrors of war and to awaken a new understanding for
other people and nations. She directed her attention to both children
and adults. She sought to establish a discourse about children's
literature and at the same time offered the children themselves a
selection of books. Still today these are the two guiding ideas of the
work at the International Youth Library.
