About the book >.>.> In a literal sense Marianne Ellenbogen n?e Strauss spent her past in hid- ing. A German Jew born in the 1920s Marianne survived the Nazi killing machine by going underground. But her extraordinary story of survival had little of the passivity and isolation we associate with being hidden. Between 1941 and 1943 she and her parents were protected by contacts with the Nazi Wehrmacht’s own counterintelligence organization the Abwehr. When Marianne’s fianc? was deported to a Polish ghetto she managed for six months to maintain a unique chain of communication to him there. And when her own family was eventually deported she went on the run. For two years a hitherto virtually unknown resistance group helped her to sur- vive in the heart of Nazi Germany. She surfaced in D?sseldorf at the end of the war joined the Communist Party and threw herself into rebuilding a better Germany.
