Flight and Concealment
Indiana University Press (Verlag)
978-0-253-06402-8 (ISBN)
Deftly weaving together personal accounts with a broader comparative look at the experiences of Jews throughout Germany, historian Susanna Schrafstetter tells the story of the Jews in Munich and Upper Bavaria who fled deportation by going underground.
Archival sources and interviews with survivors and with the Germans who aided or exploited them reveal a complex, often intimate story of hope, greed, and sometimes betrayal. Flight and Concealment shows the options and strategies for survival of those in hiding and their helpers, and discusses the ways in which some Germans enriched themselves at the expense of the refugees.
Susanna Schrafstetter is Professor of history at the University of Vermont. Her work focuses on Jews who went into hiding in Germany during the Holocaust, on German-Jewish refugees in Fascist Italy, and on the legacy of Nazism in postwar Germany. She is editor (with Jürgen Zarusky and Thomas Schlemmer) of After Nazism: Relaunching Careers in Germany and Austria. Allison Brown has been a freelance translator from German into English of scholarly books and essays, and exhibition texts and catalogues, since 1988.
