Abstract
Abstract This book tells the story of Mohammed Helmy, an Egyptian doctor who lived in Berlin during the Second World War and walked the fine line between accommodation to the Nazi regime and subversion of it. It mentions the Israeli holocaust memorial at Yad Vashem that honoured more than 25,000 of the non-Jewish men and women who saved Jewish people during the war. It also describes Helmy as a master of deception, outfoxing the Nazis and risking his own life to save his Jewish colleagues and other Jewish Berliners from Nazi persecution. The book reveals a wider story of the Arab community in Berlin at the time, many of whom had warm relations with the Jewish community. It details how Helmy and the Arab community risked their lives to help their Jewish friends when the Nazis rose to power.
