'A poignant, gripping, and richly illustrated account of how a Jewish couple, separated by circumstances, survived the war and the Holocaust. Else Behrend-Rosenfeld documents the incarceration and deportation of Munich's Jews and then her own escape into the underground which finally ended with a difficult fall into Switzerland in 1944.'
