Stay Alive: Berlin, 1939–1945 is a 2026 history book written by Ian Buruma. It tells of daily existence in Berlin under Nazi control during the Second World War. The author uses personal documents such as diaries, letters and memoirs instead of concentrating on military events. Buruma found inspiration in his father, a Dutch citizen who was forced into labor in Berlin while the war was happening. The father's correspondence is part of the book's content. This work was shortlisted for the 2026 Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction.
