This is not the usual WWII story. The author is straight forward and writes in a way that lefts you know of the suffering she and others endured without making it sappy or overly graphic. This isn't a plea for sympathy for the German people, just a narrative of what happened to one Berliner. I had always known that when the Russian army occupied Berlin that they were hard on the women there. I had no idea it was this bad.
