"And so Edith Flagg survived the Holocaust. Taking on the identity and paperwork of a deceased woman, Lydia Voskuilen, she lived among the enemy and fooled them all -- day in, day out. She walked around in a Red Cross nurse uniform and spoke Germ an impeccably so they had no idea she was Jewish."

"An unexpected pregnancy (Josh&Aelig;s father, Michael) threw the concocted alternate identity tale off-track, but didn&Aelig;t derail Mrs. Flagg&Aelig;s plan or her will. She checked her uncircumcised newborn son into a sanitarium to get him out of harm&Aelig;s way. He r husband Hans, however, would not be as fortunate. After a failed attempt to escape to France, he was taken to Auschwitz where he died in 1944."

"Following the war, and with only a few bucks to her name, Mrs. Flagg made her way to Israel, where she spent time on a kibbutz in primitive pre-statehood conditions, and later New York City..."

"Mrs. Flagg moved to Los Angeles in 1948. Soon after, she started her own business importing a fabric called polyamine -- a form of polyester. It was used for parachutes and military uniforms during the war, but once the bombers faded into memory , a surplus prompted crafty European entrepreneurs to use it for other purposes, like underwear."

"Edith Flagg is truly an inspiration to all. A Simple Girl tells the life story of a woman who survived the unimaginable and fulfilled the American Dream.Flagg was born in a small town in Romania in 1919. Having traveled to Vienna to go to fashio n school at the young age of 15, she watched Hitler march into Austria and decided at that moment she would not let him decide her fate. Flagg fled Austria to Holland, where she became an active member of the Dutch Underground, an organization tha t fought Hitler and the Nazi regime. A simple Girl describes all that Flagg (a single mother) endured. After immigrating to Palestine at the end of the war, Flagg moved to America, where her incredible story becomes that much more amazing. Wit h in her pocket, Flagg managed to become one of the leading fashion designers of her day, and a pillar in the California apparel industry."

Edith werd verpleegster en kreeg het uniform van het Duitse Rode Kruis en kreeg de naam Lydia Voskuilen; ze was ook lid van de Nederlandse ondergrondse.
