Schragenheim then moved in with Wust and lived with the family, and they developed a circle of lesbian friends who would visit. This caused tension when Gunther would occasionally return home roughly every fortnight, eventually leading Lily to ask for a divorce.
Schragenheim was soon arrested and sent to Gross Rosen concentration camp in Poland. When that camp was closed she was transferred to Bergen Belson, though she was never heard from again. It is unclear as to whether she died during the journey or in the new camp. Wust survived the war and apparently still lives in Berlin.
The love story between the two women was immortalised in the novel “Aimee and Jaguar,” named for the couple's nicknames for each other, written by Erica Fischer. The book was later made into a film of the same name by director Max Farberbock in 1999, which was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film.
