Born a baroness, trained as an equestrienne, an actress on the German stage and screen, Sibylle Sarah Niemoeller-von Sell was part of the German resistance and later served with British Intelligence. Later a researcher for American television, she worked with the American Red Cross in West Germany before embarking on a career as author and public speaker. During her long life and in her many roles, she has known political leaders, from Kaiser Wilhelm II, her godfather, to Erich Honecker; religious figures, from her own husband, Martin Niemoeller, to Elie Wiesel; and professional icons, from Billy Wilder and Stan Laurel to George Burns. She now lives in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
