All of the fourteen stories are overwhelming, and are a critical and insightful look into survival and what one will do in order to thwart all attempts to be imprisoned in concentration camps or killed at the hands of the Nazis. It depicts the darkness of the days and the living conditions the Jews faced in order to survive. It portrays the lives of those who opposed the Nazis and how they faced their own dilemmas and demise within a country environment of horrific and atrocious proportions.

The ugliness and images within the pages conveys the truth of the events that occurred, written soon after liberation, when memory was fresh. It evokes an extremely horrific look at the events the individuals found themselves up against, yet it is a humane and poignant perspective of humanity. We Survived is a book that offers hope and inspiration during the most darkest of times.

We Survived: Fourteen Stories of the Hidden and the Hunted in Nazi Germany, by Eric H. Boehm is a book of historical importance that documents the evil forced upon, the persecution of, and the fear of those whose stories are told. I highly recommend We Survived to everyone. ( )

I really liked this because there were so many short histories in the book about the persecuted during the Nazi Reign. It's a must read for anyone who is interested in the topic. However, if you are looking for something very indepth, this would not be the book for you. ( )
