Audiobooks
Berlin, 1941: Marie Jalowicz Simon, a 19-year-old Jewish woman, makes a desperate decision. All around her, Jews are being rounded up for deportation, forced labour and extermination. Marie takes off the yellow star and vanishes into the city. In the years that follow, she lives under an assumed identity, moving between almost 20 different safe houses. Forced to accept shelter wherever she can find it, many of those she stays with expect services in return. She stays with foreign workers, committed communists and even convinced Nazis. Any false move might lead to arrest. Always on the move, never sure who can be trusted, it is her quick-witted determination and the most amazing and hair-raising strokes of luck that ensure her survival. This is her extraordinary story, told with unflinching honesty after more than 50 years of silence.
