Review
“On the Run in Nazi Berlin should be mandatory reading: a memoir that reads like a thriller, full of suspense, horror, humor, and the unquenchable determination to survive. An important contribution to the literature that reminds us: never forget.” — Jenna Blum, Bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Lost Family
“[Offers] extraordinary insight… Well-written, readable, and honest, the eyewitness story is enhanced throughout by photographs and documents. This story of this Jewish family touched my heart, and I highly recommend this memoir.”— Denise George, Coauthor of The Lost Eleven and Behind Nazi Lines
“a grim and gripping story of survival in a most egregious time.” —Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Bert Lewyn (1923–2016) was born Dagobert Lewin in Berlin. He emigrated to the United States in 1949 and settled in Atlanta, Georgia. He Americanized his name and started a family. His daughter-in-law, Bev Saltzman Lewyn, who worked as a researcher for CNN, persuaded him to tell his story; together they made shocking discoveries about his history through assiduous investigation.
