If not for the urging of her daughter, Edith Beer wouldn't have written this book and this amazing story of courage and ingenuity would have been lost to history. It is of paramount importance to preserve first person accounts of the Holocaust and this one is fascinating.

Mrs. Beer is what is termed a "U Boat" ( called so by this type of survivor themselves). The reference refers to spending the war "just under the surface", akin to "hiding in plain sight".
