Untertauchen is a nice book and I love the themes it explores. I would like to know if Han's successfully left the society.

I haven’t read Untertauchen yet and your reflections highlight how powerful and emotionally charged the story is. The way you describe the tension between survival, fear, and moral choices makes me curious about Hans’s journey and the psychological toll of such persecution. I especially appreciate how you pointed out the balance between suspense and introspection—this sounds like a book that not only grips the reader but also invites deep reflection on resilience and humanity in dark times.

Definitely not my cup of tea, which was made obvious by the very first sentence in the review, because really, who would like to believe that dogma "my police keeps me safe" in fact, hides police brutality of such a scale. Sorry, I prefer to skip this book and avoid reading about this kind of trauma.

Thank you for sharing an insightful review. Historical fiction about the hardship of Jews in Germany is always thrilling and emotionally meaningful. The themes of betrayal, moral ambiguity, and survival add to the emotional depth of the narrative of Anna and Hans's journey. So

This review gave me a real sense of the emotional weight and historical richness of Untertauchen. I’m especially drawn to how the book balances external danger with internal conflict, showing how fear, resilience, and morality collide in such dark times. Hans’s journey sounds harrowing, and I admire how the author uses moments of stillness—“the calm before the storm”—to build suspense. Anna’s bravery in helping others despite the risks stood out to me as well. Thanks for highlighting the psychological depth and powerful writing style. This is definitely going on my historical fiction reading list.

"Untertauchen" by Arthur M. James is a remarkable historical fiction; it does not only takes us through what the Jews faced during the Nazi regime but also leads us to reflect and take appropriate actions on the so many issues surrounding Jews and Israelis today. I am impressed by the author's skillful infusion of suspense into the narrative and the character depth.

To those who remember the horrors your ancestors endured under the Nazi regime the ghettos, the dehumanization, the mass killings,I ask: how can that memory not move you when you see Palestinian children buried under rubble, families torn apart, and entire communities living under siege?

The Holocaust was one of the darkest chapters in human history. It should have taught the world, and especially those who suffered through it, that no people should ever be treated as less than human. Yet today, in Gaza, we are witnessing a tragedy that echoes with painful familiarity: civilians targeted, children traumatized, lives erased.

This is not a denial of Jewish suffering. It is a plea born from it. If “never again” is to mean anything, it must apply to all people, not just one group. The memory of Jewish pain should be a shield against injustice, not a justification for it.

What is happening in Gaza is not self-defense. It is collective punishment. And history will remember who spoke out, and who stayed silent.

[Creole]

In "Untertauchen" by Arthur M. James, readers are given a glimpse into the perilous journey of the Bracher family, a Jewish family in Germany. Hans Bracher, the family's son, is forced to live in hiding, his survival a matter of life and death for his loved ones. This narrative is a poignant exploration of betrayal, discrimination, survival, resilience, and love. The insights offered in your review are truly eye-opening.

Hans is not just a man on the run he is a son a friend a human being trying to maintain his dignity when everything else is falling apart.‍
