Jamia's Aapa Jaan: Gerda Philipsborn

Gerda Philipsborn, a German Jew, became fascinated by the idea of Jamia Millia Islamia, while Zakir Hussain, the future vice-chancellor, talked about the plans he had for the university. Jamia was located back then in Karol, an isolated suburb of Delhi. After Hitler came to power, Jews started fleeing Germany, and Gerda came to India she could have gone anywhere, but she so wanted to come to India and serve Jamia. The former president of India, Dr Zakir Hussain, has appreciated the contribution made by Aaapa Jaan as he dedicated the book Talimi Khutbaat to her. This video has been an attempt to cover her journey in Jamia.
