I read a book called 'Playing for Time', written by a woman called Fania Fenelone. I fell in love with her from the book. She was a French pianist, composer and cabaret singer. Fania survived the Nazi Holocaust of 1939-45 World War Two. I then read another book by an evil man called Rudolph Hoss who was the architect of, and Commandant of, Auschwitz/Birkenau Concentration Camp where Fania was imprisoned. Hoss wrote his book before he was hanged for war crimes at Nuremberg in 1946. In her book, Fania says  something like 'Only a woman (women), can make sure this never happens again'. I decided that modern journalist 'Sophie Frei' was that woman. I love this story, and would love to have met Fania before she died in 1983. I am also glad they let evil Hoss write his book, and then they hanged him.
