Sinopsis

In May of 2007, noted American poet and novelist and son of Holocaust refugees Michael Blumenthal went to South Africa to volunteer at C.A.R.E., a rehabilitation center for orphaned and injured baboons founded by Rita Miljo. Rita was a Lithuanian-born childhood member of the Hitler Youth who had gone on to have a life as adventure-filled as Beryl Markham&rsquo,s in West With the Night.&ldquo,A lot of people have asked me whether they couldáwrite &rsquo,my book,&rsquo, Rita wrote to Michael shortly thereafter, &ldquo,and I said no, because I was envisaging a story both sad and happy, but certainly mixed with a lot of humor.á But if you asked me, I would not say no.&rdquo, With that, for the only time in her life, Rita entrusted another human being with thirty years&rsquo, worth of her journals, and a rare and unusual collaboration was born. Because They Needed Me is that story, a chronicle of primate conservation and the intrepid and courageous woman who devoted her life to it. It is like no other book of its kind.
