The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn-Beer with Susan Dworkin, 305 pages

This book is about a young Austrian Jew who managed to survive the war by going underground with a fake identity. She even ended up marrying a German man who became a Nazi officer by the end of the war (and who knew her real identity.) This was a great look at the story of a U-boat (term for a Jew who hid beneath the surface) and the struggles to survive while retaining your sense of self. I'm very glad I saw this reviewed elsewhere and requested it interlibrary loan.
