What did it mean to go into hiding for Jewish people during the National Socialist regime? How many were able to hide and who helped them? How many survived – in spite of a constant threat of persecution and death – and what impact did years hidden away have on their psyche? And what were victims treated like after the war had ended?

Evaluating countless written sources and conducting numerous interviews with survivors and helpers alike, Brigitte Ungar-Klein has written the first comprehensive study about people who were able to live in hiding during the Nazi terror in Vienna. This publication is the first to bring these stories to light, an outstanding record of oral history that is of utmost importance.
