Iella Lepman, a refugee from Nazi Germany, returned to Germany after WWII to advise on women and children's education. Her belief that spiritual nourishment via books could heal war-torn youth led to the creation of a Bridge of Books concept, resulting in the Informational Youth Library in 1946 and the International Board on Books for Young People in 1951. Her work earned the Christian Andersen Prize, highlighting a lifelong effort to foster international understanding through children’s literature.
