It soon became clear that her marriage would have both its passions
and its betrayals. Yet Emilie stayed with Oskar through his growing
involvement with the Nazis, working for counterintelligence with
him. She first, then he later, came to realize the costs of the
Nazi takeover and became witnesses to its terrors. Their inward
allegiance changed even as they needed to maintain patriotic
appearances and close affiliations with the Nazis in power. Through
their work together at their two factories, saving the Jews became
paramount for the Schindlers. Emilie nursed the Jewish factory
workers when they fell ill, often saving their lives. She risked
imprisonment or worse for her activities in the black market to
feed them. Her stubbornness kept her fighting for food, even daring
to ask a wealthy mill owner to give them grain to feed her starving
workers. Where Light and Shadow Meet chronicles the Schindlers'
flight after the war, the loss of almost all their possessions, and
their eventual emigration to Argentina. There they settled on a
farm, but barely scraped together an existence. Oskar returned to
Germany, leaving Emilie to manage on her own. This is the story of
one woman's daily acts of bravery during Hitler's reign and why it
mattered. It is also the story of a marriage and of survival.
Finally, it is the story of Emilie's strength in continuing on one
day at a time.
