Book Overview
Thousands of Jews and "Aryan" Germans opposed to Hitler led illegal lives under the Nazi terror and survived the relentless hunt of the Gestapo, the concentration camps, and the bombing. They survived in various ways; some as ordinary citizens taking part in the work-day life, others with fake passports, hidden in cellars, living precariously in all the dark corners of a vigilantly policed country. In fourteen autobiographical accounts, author Eric Boehm offers a cross-section of these heroic personalities. We Survived is itself an historical document, giving a window back into this epoch period during World War II. Now reappearing in print over fifty years after its original publication, We Survived remains as relevant and necessary as ever before - an honest testimony to the strength of the human spirit when it triumphs over adversity.

The way it was then.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Excellent for anyone who prefers history told by those who were there and are telling it the way they saw it at the time.Not decades later. Historical facts that emerged since are too often irresponsibly presented as facts known then. A Reader.
Excellent Oral History

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book. Written shortly after the end of WWII, it beautifully documents 13 stories of survivors of the Nazi regime with the clarity that only freshly captured memories can provide. What makes the book so interesting is not only the level of detail in each story, but the references to arcane events WWII historians will be familiar with. Additionally, many of the story lines intersect (e.g., more than one member of the Kreisau Circle is represented). Humanitarians and WWII historians must own this book.
