I bought this book because my mother worked at the Jewish Hospital in Berlin in 1946. We have no details of her work there other than that she met a Jewish nurse who eventually married an American soldier and returned to the US with him. It was through the sponsorship of this nurse that our family came to the US.
This book's German title is 'Surviving in Hell' and that more accurately describes life in the Jewish Hospital. Even though the Germans allowed the hospital to exist, life there was nightmarish, with workers and patients always being in danger of being hauled away to a concentration camp.
The author cites Rivka Elkin's German language history of the Jewish Hospital in Berlin which has not been translated, but has been summarized in English and published in the Leo Baeck Year Book in 1993. It would be instructive to see whether there is much overlap.
The book is worth reading because of the odd circumstances of the hospital's survival and in my case because it pertains to an important chapter in our family history.
