See How They Run is told from the points of view of both of the main characters. Divided into two main sections, books one and two, the first book is told primarily from the perspective of David Strauss and the second book is primarily from the perspective of Alix Rothschild. The first section is a sheltered look at a Holocaust family. David has been given a very limited account of his grandmother's history, and has no knowledge of her current involvement or the group formed by the Holocaust survivors. He has grown up as an American with all of the privileges of wealth and education, while his grandmother and brother are deeply involved in the funding of the group that hunts Nazi war criminals. When Elena and Nick refuse to finance the plan called Dachau Two as they believe it goes against the very thing they are trying to accomplish, David finds himself thrown into the midst of a world he knows nothing of.
