Faced with being "transported" or perhaps shot by the Nazis because of their Jewish faith, Eva and her husband disappeared into the "underground" in 1942. For the remainder of World War II, they continued to work and live right in Berlin without being apprehended by the dread Gestapo. This is an intriguing story of heroic and ingenious people who were blessed by having valuable trade skills and the help of many people who were willing to defy the laws enacted by Hitler’s treacherous regime. Eva and Martin eventually moved to Madison, where they became successful business owners. A book signing will follow the lecture.
