When Red Army soldiers discovered the Arndt, Lewinsky and Gumpel families in April, 1945, there were seven survivors, the largest known group of German Jews to survive in hiding in the heart of the Third Reich. For two and a half years the group managed to stay alive in the shadowy underworld of Berlin, without idenity cards, food ration books or any secure accommodation, fending off starvation and discovery, in an area less than two miles from Hitler's bunker.
