This unique collection of diaries and letters offers a vivid
personal account of the experiences of a Jewish couple living
parallel lives during the Second World War. While their children
left for England just before war broke out, and Siegfried soon
followed, Else Behrend was unable to obtain her visa in time, and
remained in Germany. This volume includes Else's account of her
years of persecution under the Nazi dictatorship, and of her life
underground in Berlin, before her eventual daring escape to
Switzerland on foot in 1944. Her dramatic story is presented
alongside Siegfried's account of his very different experience,
living penniless and in isolation in England, as well as some of
her letters to her close friend and confidante, Eva. Complemented
by QR codes that allow readers to listen to Else's own voice from
her 1963 BBC interviews. Published in English for the first time,
Living in Two Worlds offers an unforgettable and moving insight
into the impact of the Second World War on everyday life.
