Reviews
"An absolutely gripping account of one young woman's struggle to escape deportation at the hands of the Nazis and of those who helped her. Marie Jalowicz-Simon details for the first time with total honesty the harsh sexual politics of survival in the Berlin underground." -- Thomas Ertman, New York University, author of Birth of the Leviathan, "Captivating....Jalowicz's story is unquestionably tragic in so many ways, but is also full of miracles, hope, and a future." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred review), "Captivating....Jalowicz's story is unquestionably tragic in so many ways, but is also full of miracles, hope, and a future."-- Publishers Weekly (Starred review), "The most extraordinary memoir of World War II I've ever encountered."-- Gerard DeGroot , Washington Post, A Washington Post Notable Non-Fiction Book of 2015 "The most extraordinary memoir of World War II I've ever encountered."-- Gerard DeGroot , Washington Post, "Marie Jalowicz Simon transports the reader right to wartime Berlin. Even seventy years later, her voice is young, fresh, and gripping. Her story is by turns funny, wise, and horrific. I felt like she was reaching out to me across time and I couldn't help but fall in love with her. Despite the incredible dangers she faced living underground in Nazi Berlin, Marie's story is incredibly life-affirming and at times, even joyful." -- Clara Kramer, author of Clara's War

Synopsis
A thrilling piece of undiscovered history, this is the true account of a young Jewish woman who survived World War II in Berlin. In 1942, Marie Jalowicz, a twenty-year-old Jewish Berliner, made the extraordinary decision 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. In the years that followed, Marie took shelter wherever it was offered, living with the strangest of bedfellows, from circus performers and committed communists to convinced Nazis. As Marie quickly learned, however, compassion and cruelty are very often two sides of the same coin. Fifty years later, Marie agreed to tell her story for the first time. Told in her own voice with unflinching honesty, Underground in Berlin is a book like no other, of the surreal, sometimes absurd day-to-day life in wartime Berlin. This might be just one woman's story, but it gives an unparalleled glimpse into what it truly means to be human.
