I am reading 'Underground in Berlin' , Marie Jalowicz Simon

A Young Woman's Extraordinary Tale of Survival in the Heart of Nazi Germany. translated by Anthea Bell, Foreward & Afterword by Hermann Simon.


From the backcover." In 1942, Marie Jalowicz a twenty year old Jewish Berliner furtively resolved to do everything in her power to avoid the concentration camps. She removed her yellow star, took on an assumed identity, and disappeared into the city."


I honestly did not know that this was even a possibility.
