Description
Before World War II, 160,000 Jews lived in Berlin. By 1945, only 3,000 remained alive. Bert was one of the few, and his thrilling memoir-from witnessing the famous 1933 book burning to the aftermath of the war in a displaced persons camp-offers an unparalleled depiction of the life of a runaway Jew caught in the heart of the Nazi empire.
Reviews
" On the Run in Nazi Berlin should be mandatory reading: a memoir that reads like a thriller, full of suspense, horror, humor, and the unquenchable determination to survive. An important contribution to the literature that reminds us: never forget." -- Jenna Blum, Bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family
"[Offers] extraordinary insight... Well-written, readable, and honest, the eyewitness story is enhanced throughout by photographs and documents. This story of this Jewish family touched my heart, and I highly recommend this memoir." -- Denise George, Coauthor of The Lost Eleven and Behind Nazi Lines
"a grim and gripping story of survival in a most egregious time." -- Kirkus Reviews
