Survivor Story: Untertauchen

“Supposedly, it was harder to escape Nazi laws in small towns where everyone knew you. It was easier to “untertauchen” (submerge or remain anonymous) in larger towns. So my father took a job teaching at a Jewish school outside Hanover. It did not save us from being transported to Buchenwald.” Read about two Holocaust survivors, German Jewish newlyweds sent to America by their parents to have children to “save our people,” in One Person’s Loss. Learn more about the book in NOVELS.
