In a moving narrative Max Krakauer describes his life-threatening odyssey at a time when Germany was being changed by war. Under most difficult circumstances, Max Krakauer and his wife were fearful of being discovered and arrested, but they also were constantly supported and hidden by courageous rescuers, many of whom followed their Christian conscience.This book first appeared in 1947 and was reprinted several times. Now it is finally available in an English translation. The translator, Hans Martin Wuerth, Professor Emeritus, Moravian College, Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, has lived in the United States since 1953. His wife, Ursula, is the daughter of the Righteous Gentiles Otto and Gertrud Mörike, two of the primary coordinators of the Krakauers'' stirring escape. During his teaching career, from 1964 to 2001, Dr. Wuerth lectured and wrote on German Language and Literature, the History of National Socialism and the Holocaust.Added to Max Krakauer''s original text are maps, a chronology of the various escape routes, and a detailed Epilogue about the lives of the Krakauer couple following their liberation.
