Publisher's Summary
Between April 20th and June 22nd of 1945 the anonymous author of A Woman in Berlin wrote about life within the falling city as it was sacked by the Russian Army. Fending off the boredom and deprivation of hiding, the author records her experiences, observations, and meditations in this stark and vivid diary. Accounts of the bombing, the rapes, the rationing of food, and the overwhelming terror of death are rendered in the dispassionate, though determinedly optimistic, prose of a woman fighting for survival amidst the horror and inhumanity of war.

Excellent story
Well worth listening to this. Definitely, recommended to others. I have looked at this book previously but never picked it up. Very factual about the impact of war on civilian populations

Very thought provoking
This is a good look at what other atrocities happened during or after WWII, as like it is said at the end of the book, most other atrocities were overshadowed by the genocide in the German concentration camps.

A feminist masterpiece
How did I manage to miss this book until stumbling across it? This is a an astonishing work of diamond-sharp observation, brutal honesty and huge historical value. A. woman in Berlin illuminates a time and place, Berlin in the immediate aftermath of Germany’s WWII defeat, that is probably not that well known among the general public and younger readers. It also deserves a place among the world’s great works of feminist literature and deserves recognition as such.
