Enemies of the People is the gripping and unforgettable memoir of Martin and Gerda Levy's fight for survival. Martin, a successful businessman, was arrested by the Gestapo in 1938 and sent to Dachau concentration camp. Gerda, a talented musician, was forced to give up her career and work as a cleaner. Their children, Ruth and Heinz, were expelled from school and forbidden from playing with other children.

Despite the horrors they endured, the Levy family never gave up hope. They supported each other through the darkest of times, and they always believed that they would eventually be free. In 1945, the Allies liberated Auschwitz and the Levy family was finally able to return home.

Enemies of the People is a powerful and moving story of courage, resilience, and the triumph of the human spirit. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of fighting against tyranny and oppression.
