Karla Emelia Helene Peterson

Seamstress, and devoted wife of Bruno Arnold

Wedded to Bruno, possessed a quieter demeanor that belied the strength within. She, too, grappled with the formidable challenge of reconciling her moral principles with the imperative of safeguarding her family from the Gestapo's watchful eye. Despite her reserved nature, Karla was highly educated, and her proficiency in English showcased her intellectual acumen.

A woman of diverse talents, Karla took pride in nurturing her family and derived joy from pursuits such as music, sewing, and honing her English language skills. Unfortunately, the looming presence of the Nazis compelled her to employ her talents in support of their cause, a poignant surrender of her passions for the sake of survival. Karla's story reflects not only the internal conflicts faced by individuals during a tumultuous time but also the sacrifices made in the name of family and resilience.
