Photographed from the February 1937 issue of National Geographic Magazine.

She escaped from Madrid, Spain during the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and is the author
of an article in this issue. The title of the article is "Escape from Madrid." She is 19 years old at the time.

I purchased the magazine in an antique shop and have read it cover to cover. I did a Google search for Gretchen but came up with no results. I am facinated by her story and would like to know more about her life.
