An Underground Life: Memoirs of a Gay Jew in Nazi Berlin by Gad Beck

dark reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

 I had been looking forward to reading this book for a long time, and I was very pleased to get it for Mother's Day. I didn't realize it was such a short book, so I read though it in basically no time flat. It was a very good read. I was really surprised that the author managed to survive Nazi Germany for several reasons. Resistance fighters often met their end in various ways, not to mention being gay and Jewish. The experiences of the author were very interesting. I cannot imagine going through all that stuff.
