Summary
The Enemy I Knew tells the stories of German and Austrian Jews who fled Nazi persecution and later returned to Europe as members of the Allied military forces during World War II. Through firsthand accounts, author Steven Karras documents how these men and women used their language skills and cultural knowledge to serve as interrogators, intelligence officers, and soldiers fighting against the regime that had once persecuted them. The book offers a unique perspective on the war, capturing the complex emotions of confronting their former homeland while serving the cause of liberation.
