Ursula Haeussler still remembers the frenzy of that day more than a century ago. She had just sat down for breakfast at the kitchen table as the maid began the morning chores at their home on a small farm in a rural, idyllic German town. Suddenly, just as the maid began fixing her apron, she collapsed onto the floor. Haeussler’s uncle and father immediately sprung into action, attempting to revive the unconscious woman before carrying her onto a cart and taking her to the nearest doctor. The young girl’s mind whirled with confusion, wondering what had just happened.
