Else Ury was a German writer and children's book author. Her best-known character is the blonde doctor's daughter Annemarie Braun, whose life from childhood to old age is told in the ten volumes of the highly successful Nesthäkchen series. The books, the six-part TV series Nesthäkchen, based on the first three volumes, as well as the new DVD edition caught the attention of millions of readers and viewers. During Ury's lifetime Nesthäkchen und der Weltkrieg, the fourth volume, was the most popular. Else Ury was a member of the German Bürgertum. She was pulled between patriotic German citizenship and Jewish cultural heritage. This situation is reflected in her writings, although the Nesthäkchen books make no references to Judaism.
