Marie Jalowicz Simon was born in 1922 into a middle-class Jewish family. In 1942, during World War II, while living in Berlin, she resolved to do everything in her power to avoid the concentration camps. She removed her yellow star, took on an assumed identity, and disappeared into the city. For years Marie took shelter wherever it was offered---living with circus performers, communists and Nazi loyalists. She learned to leave quickly, melt into the landscape, and be as anonymous as possible.

She rarely spoke about her past but left an oral history of her wartime experiences with her son before her death in 1998.
