The end of World War Two was not the same all over Germany. It was quite civilized in the West, where the Americans and the British approached, fought, and eventually occupied. It was anything but civilized in the East, where the Russians came.
There were significant differences between the Western occupying forces (namely, the Americans and the British) and the Russians. Yes, most of the Russians soldiers (and even officers) were primitive folks, many of which country population of the vast Russian prairies, with their average education level far below that of the American and the British soldiers. Yes, it was also in their culture (that is, if you wish to call this 鈥渃ulture鈥�) that the victors loot the conquered areas, rob the defeated, and rape their women. Yet one cannot only account the behavior of the Russians to them being uneducated, primitive, and, if you wish to say so, animal-like. One should never forget how the German soldiers, members of a nation of 鈥減oets and thinkers鈥�, members of (what they had been made to believe) a 鈥渕aster race鈥�, had acted in Russia when invading the country without any provocation. They had just simply acted like pigs. No, I鈥檒l take this back. I don鈥檛 want to insult pigs. O.k., not all German soldiers had acted like that. But plenty of them. They had not only robbed poor peasants of their livelihood, that is, their livestock, their meager food storage, and, quite often, their last loaf of bread, leaving them to starve, they had also murdered civilians of all ages, including children, and they had brutally raped women (and killed some right after, so not to "soil" the pure German blood).
So what kind of behavior would someone expect from a Russian soldier whose wife, sister, and/or daughter had been raped by invading German soldiers and/or whose whole or partial family had been murdered or left to starve?
Women remaining in Berlin, left with next-to-none supplies (and with no possibility to leave the city), got the brunt of this Russian behavior.
For the actual contents of this book, please read the description of this book. You might also wish to read about Marta Hillers, the assumed author of this book, which was, and still is, published with Anonymus as author. Here is the link to Wikipedia鈥檚 entry on Marta Hillers:
After reading this book, I now understand why my grandmother, who wasn鈥檛 particularly religious, was praying every night that the Americans would arrive at our town before the Russians would get here.
Again, I have no intention to vilify the Russians. (Btw, my husband is 1/4 Russian--more precisely White-Russian. [White Russia was later renamed "Belarus.] His paternal grandfather was an officer-POW in the First World War. He was assigned to slave labor on the farm where my husband鈥檚 grandmother was the farmer鈥檚 daughter.)
Who are THE Russians anyway? Who are THE Germans? Who are THE Americans?
THE Russians are the Berlin rapists; they are Tolstoy; they are Ivan the Terrible; they are Dostoyevsky; they are Putin; they are the fabulous dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet; they are my Russian 欧宝娱乐 friends; they are my husband鈥檚 grandfather.
THE Germans are Hitler and the Nazis; they are Goethe and Schiller; they are Angela Merckl; they are my nice and also my nasty previous German neighbors; they are my friend Mariele, who was one of my dying mother鈥檚 caregivers and who purchased a mistreated mountain lion from a pimp and drove some thousand miles until she could finally deliver the animal to a zoo that would take it.
THE Americans are George Washington; they are Mark Twain; they are Richard Nixon; they are John Steinbeck; they are my beloved Barrack Obama; they are the first American GI I saw, who gave me the piece of chocolate he had in his pocket and my mother the fish he had just caught; they are our pious Mormon neighbors; and they are Donald Trump and the addle-brained masses who voted for him..

Poor words, you do not suffice .
Indeed, words are not enough to convey that horror. We, lucky ones, born after the war, living in the time of peace, have to summon all our imagination, all human compassion and empathy to be able to catch though a glimpse of that suffering and humiliation that people then experienced.
A woman in Berlin, written by anonymous German woman, spans two months of 1945, from April until the 20 of the June and is a chronicle from besieged and defeated city. And because author stays unnamed throughout whole story it gives us a wider perspective and allows to raise above this particular period and extend our view. This woman, being herself, can be obscure daughter of Hecuba , unhappy sister of Cassandra, distant relative of every woman raped and mutilated through and by the war.
Novel, in a form of a journal, is very well written. You feel that author is well educated and had some writing experience, her thoughts are clearly expressed and balanced. From some snippets you know she knew French and a bit of Russian, that travelled a lot before the war, oh irony to Russia too. She is sensitive and compassionate but her report is nothing but dry facts. You don鈥檛 find here any self-pity, she doesn鈥檛 make too much fuss about conditions she and her compatriots had to endure. Only unemotional report about daily food rations, never-ending ventures for water, plundering and hunting for some food, air raids and burning city.
People, hiding in the basements like some parody of cave-dwellers, form close community, after all what better brings people together than mutual misery ?; but it is rather fragile bond, it can easily be broken. The real community is created by women. Because they took on themselves that first the wildest attack of Russian victors. While men were hiding, protected by their wives and lovers, women had to face repeated rapes and constant violence.
It鈥檚 a grim reading though there are truly heartening moments and some humorous accents as well ( seeing some men in naval uniforms our guide to this ghost city states only Apparently they鈥檝e taken Berlin by sea as well. We certainly have enough lakes around ) .
I was trying to imagine her life after war. Did she accept her horrible past, did she find love and peace of mind ? Where did she live ? In Germany ? I could dig a bit for her but decided not to do that. Not everything is for sale and I respect her silence after that diary. She gave a testimony already.

When we speak of war fatalities, of those who have fallen, of those who have offered themselves up as sacrifices for the purpose of... but to what purpose? We think of fallen soldiers on the battlefield, yet far behind those front lines that so often are saluted in honor with parades and holidays -- are the women. Throughout the history of humankind, women of all ages have been treated as the prize of the conquerer. To the winner go the spoils, and the spoils are women.
"A Woman in Berlin" is a journal kept over a two-month period of time in 1945, when Berlin was overtaken by the Russian (Soviet) Army. The author, dubbed simply "Anonymous," is rumored to be a German woman named Marta, well educated, perhaps a journalist who has seen much of the world... but not in this way. For eight weeks she chronicles the battle of the woman in war. Over 100,000 women are raped over this 8-week period in Berlin. Not once, but over and over again. The diarist writes of this time in a way that perhaps only a journalist could, keeping emotions in check, remaining clear-eyed, intelligence evident, apparently using her writing as a tool of survival. If the horrors of war are indescribable, the horrors of what women have had to endure as the human spoils of wars over time has had little examination, little if any punishment (arguably this behavior has even been encouraged), and even less understanding. This book is important reading to anyone wishing to understand war. Any war.
Who will pin purple hearts on these women for their suffering and degradation? Who can measure the wounds that never heal and their lifelong consequences to invidividuals and to societies? These are the unsung heroes who are forced to submit, yet so often rise up first to rebuild what war has torn apart -- homes, families, lives.
The first time this diary was published, it was not received as the heroic work of a survivor. The diarist was ostracized, because so often people turn away from and deny what hurts most, what reminds us of the depravity in mankind. She gave instruction to not publish these pages again until after her death, which arrived in 2001. But this is a timeless book, because women are being used and abused as the spoils of wars today. Witness Bosnia and Kosovo, Darfur, Iraq, and the list goes on to include every battle in which man has raised a weapon, himself becoming a weapon of destruction.
Essential reading.

Although this book was and still is published anonymously, in 2003 the author was identified as Marta Hillers, a journalist who had died two years previously at the age of 90. She was cultured, well-travelled, multilingual, and 34 years old when she wrote this diary, which covers only 58 days. It was first published in 1954, in English, then four years later, in German. They really hated it in Germany.
Wiki quotes a German author Hans Magnus Enzensberger about the book鈥檚 reception and it鈥檚 worth repeating here :
German readers were obviously not ready to face some uncomfortable truths... German women were not supposed to talk about the reality of rapes; and German men preferred not to be seen as impotent onlookers when the victorious Russians claimed their spoils of war. The author's attitude was an aggravating factor: devoid of self-pity, with a clear-eyed view of her compatriots' behavior before and after the Nazi regime's collapse, everything she wrote flew in the face of the reigning post-war complacency and amnesia.
After that she would not allow the book to be published again. (She had been abused by a whole new bunch of people.) So it had to wait another 50 years, until her death, and a new translation, and then, only then, could people take the harsh truth she was recording.
We, her present readers, have to deal with the fact that Marta Hillers worked for the Nazis throughout the war but, as Wiki says, kindly I suppose, 鈥渟he was probably not a member of the Nazi Party鈥�.
In Samuel Richardson鈥檚 Pamela, in Bram Stoker鈥檚 Dracula, in Liaisons Dangereuses, and a thousand other epistolatory novels, the reader鈥檚 credulity is strained by the characters continually finding the time in their busy adventures to write a detail-crammed account of the exciting events of the day. It鈥檚 one of those literary devices that has always seemed completely unrealistic to me. But this book appears to prove it can and has been done just like that. During the longeurs between being bombed, scavenging for food and being attacked by Russian soldiers, Marta Hiller writes with pinpoint immediacy and with remarkable fluency.
A TRUTH ABOUT WAR INSTEAD OF THE USUAL EVASIONS AND EUPHEMISMS
Here is the truth 鈥� soldiers, all of them, from commanders down to the lowly infantry, who conquer enemy territory regard the rape of women as their right. They don鈥檛 even stop to consider the concept of rape. It鈥檚 not rape to the soldiers, it鈥檚 payback, for what the enemy did to their sisters, daughters and wives, maybe, but also, mostly, it's just because they want to. There is no such thing as military discipline in the chaos of an advancing front line. In most cases there is a deliberate policy of allowing wholesale rape, for various reasons 鈥� let the men blow off some steam, relax, take a little pleasure; and let the enemy feel our wrath.
You heard about the sack of Rome, the fall of Troy, the collapse of the Third Reich, all these big yet soothingly distant words 鈥� sack, fall, collapse. But this diary gives you the hour by hour of what actually happens when an invading army fights through your city street by street, and engulfs your own street. Then what happens to the civilians? If you鈥檙e female, you are expecting to be raped. Maybe you can stash your daughter in some hideyhole. Maybe you can dress as a man. Maybe you can use make-up to make yourself look older! (That鈥檚 ironic, right?) The older ones - over 50, say - can be glad for their faded looks. All other females expect their turn will come. It usually doesn鈥檛 come by rough seizing, what happens is that a couple of soldiers just turn up at your door, push it open, and invite you to sit down for a couple of friendly drinks. They're smiling, they're happy souls, look, they have brought vodka, there's no reason to become alarmed. Or, one will turn up unannounced around ten at night, looking for a place to sleep. It鈥檚 your bed he has in mind, not the sofa.
What Marta does, and what we imagine other resourceful women doing, or trying to do, is, after the first onslaught by drunken squaddies, find herself a protector, an officer type, who she will allow to rape her regularly on the understanding that he will keep others away. This works until the hurly-burly of the war drags her first Russian officer away; she has to get a new one pronto, or the squaddies will be back. And so it goes.
Outside , the war is still on. And we have a new morning and evening prayer : 鈥淔or all of this we thank the Fuhrer鈥�. A line we know from the years before the war, when it was printed in praise and thanksgiving on thousands of posters, proclaimed in speeches. Today the exact same words have precisely the opposite meaning, full of scorn and derision. I believe that鈥檚 what鈥檚 called a dialectic conversion.
When civil society was restored, this treatment of women as sex slaves faded away; when the German men came back to Berlin and elsewhere, and patched together their domestic life, they didn鈥檛 want to hear a single word about what had happened in their absence. The whole subject of rape was buried by mutual consent. Just, in fact, like the crime of child abuse 鈥� neither the victim nor the perp ever wants to talk about it.
I can鈥檛 recommend this book, it鈥檚 beautifully written, but it鈥檚 just so grim. Men will be depressed to get so strongly the sense that the soldiers were thinking of course we will have sex with these women! What, are you crazy? You would too if you were here! This is our reward for our heroic fighting! Anyway, it鈥檚 just a bit of fun 鈥� why all this squawking? and women will be reminded why their mothers told them never to live in a war zone, in case they had forgotten that useful advice.
Wiki quotes a German author Hans Magnus Enzensberger about the book鈥檚 reception and it鈥檚 worth repeating here :
German readers were obviously not ready to face some uncomfortable truths... German women were not supposed to talk about the reality of rapes; and German men preferred not to be seen as impotent onlookers when the victorious Russians claimed their spoils of war. The author's attitude was an aggravating factor: devoid of self-pity, with a clear-eyed view of her compatriots' behavior before and after the Nazi regime's collapse, everything she wrote flew in the face of the reigning post-war complacency and amnesia.
After that she would not allow the book to be published again. (She had been abused by a whole new bunch of people.) So it had to wait another 50 years, until her death, and a new translation, and then, only then, could people take the harsh truth she was recording.
We, her present readers, have to deal with the fact that Marta Hillers worked for the Nazis throughout the war but, as Wiki says, kindly I suppose, 鈥渟he was probably not a member of the Nazi Party鈥�.
In Samuel Richardson鈥檚 Pamela, in Bram Stoker鈥檚 Dracula, in Liaisons Dangereuses, and a thousand other epistolatory novels, the reader鈥檚 credulity is strained by the characters continually finding the time in their busy adventures to write a detail-crammed account of the exciting events of the day. It鈥檚 one of those literary devices that has always seemed completely unrealistic to me. But this book appears to prove it can and has been done just like that. During the longeurs between being bombed, scavenging for food and being attacked by Russian soldiers, Marta Hiller writes with pinpoint immediacy and with remarkable fluency.
A TRUTH ABOUT WAR INSTEAD OF THE USUAL EVASIONS AND EUPHEMISMS
Here is the truth 鈥� soldiers, all of them, from commanders down to the lowly infantry, who conquer enemy territory regard the rape of women as their right. They don鈥檛 even stop to consider the concept of rape. It鈥檚 not rape to the soldiers, it鈥檚 payback, for what the enemy did to their sisters, daughters and wives, maybe, but also, mostly, it's just because they want to. There is no such thing as military discipline in the chaos of an advancing front line. In most cases there is a deliberate policy of allowing wholesale rape, for various reasons 鈥� let the men blow off some steam, relax, take a little pleasure; and let the enemy feel our wrath.
You heard about the sack of Rome, the fall of Troy, the collapse of the Third Reich, all these big yet soothingly distant words 鈥� sack, fall, collapse. But this diary gives you the hour by hour of what actually happens when an invading army fights through your city street by street, and engulfs your own street. Then what happens to the civilians? If you鈥檙e female, you are expecting to be raped. Maybe you can stash your daughter in some hideyhole. Maybe you can dress as a man. Maybe you can use make-up to make yourself look older! (That鈥檚 ironic, right?) The older ones - over 50, say - can be glad for their faded looks. All other females expect their turn will come. It usually doesn鈥檛 come by rough seizing, what happens is that a couple of soldiers just turn up at your door, push it open, and invite you to sit down for a couple of friendly drinks. They're smiling, they're happy souls, look, they have brought vodka, there's no reason to become alarmed. Or, one will turn up unannounced around ten at night, looking for a place to sleep. It鈥檚 your bed he has in mind, not the sofa.
What Marta does, and what we imagine other resourceful women doing, or trying to do, is, after the first onslaught by drunken squaddies, find herself a protector, an officer type, who she will allow to rape her regularly on the understanding that he will keep others away. This works until the hurly-burly of the war drags her first Russian officer away; she has to get a new one pronto, or the squaddies will be back. And so it goes.
Outside , the war is still on. And we have a new morning and evening prayer : 鈥淔or all of this we thank the Fuhrer鈥�. A line we know from the years before the war, when it was printed in praise and thanksgiving on thousands of posters, proclaimed in speeches. Today the exact same words have precisely the opposite meaning, full of scorn and derision. I believe that鈥檚 what鈥檚 called a dialectic conversion.

Two days after finishing, I still can't stop thinking about the haunting beauty of this rare journal, deeply saddened at the events described and equally saddened she didn't write more. This is the kind of book that sucks all the oxygen out of the air, that needs space once it is finished. The idea of starting something new is out of the question, almost sacrilege. One wants a moment of silence, to reach through time and hug the writer, which cannot be done.
The prose is understated and often brilliant ("Our fate is rolling in from the east . . ."). Her skills of observation superb. I've never seen/read a victim of war describe so much personal pain with so little animosity or bitterness toward the events and perpetrators. If I could only read five books on WWII, this would be one of those five. It is, perhaps, the best example of what happens in a conquered city: rape, murder, pillage. The account is first person. No axe to grind. This version, by the author's wish, was not republished until after her death, just a few years ago. You can find her name if you google the story, but it is apparent she wanted neither fame nor money from her account. If I could give a book a rating higher than five stars, I would honor A Woman in Berlin such.

Beauty hurts now. We鈥檙e so full of death.
This is a young journalist鈥檚 honest and unembroidered war diary recounting her experiences in the war-torn Berlin as she and her neighbors face hunger, humiliation and the enthusiastic Russian conquerors and the ensuing mass rapes.
An image from the street: a man pushing a wheelbarrow with a dead woman on top, stiff as a board. Loose grey strands of hair fluttering, a blue kitchen apron. Her withered legs in grey stockings sticking out the end of the wheelbarrow. Hardly anyone gave her a second glance. Just like when they used to ignore the rubbish being hauled away.
The diary begins on 20th of April and ends on 22 of June.
This was a very painful book to read.
...a cart stopped outside our house, with an old horse in front, nothing but skin and bones. Four-year-old Lutz Lehmann came walking up holding his mother鈥檚 hand, stopped beside the cart and asked, in a dreamy voice, 鈥楳utti, can we eat the horse?鈥�
God knows what we鈥檒l all end up eating. I think I鈥檓 far from any life threatening extreme, but I don鈥檛 really know how far. I only know that I want to survive - against all sense and reason, just like an animal.

I was initially drawn to A Woman in Berlin as Sir Antony Beevor placed it in his top five books on the Second World War. He described it as the 鈥榤ost important personal accounts ever written about the effects of war and defeat.鈥� I have to say I could not agree more, this book is truly amazing. This is a diary written between 20/04/1945-22/06/1945 by an anonymous German woman, during the fall and sacking of the city at the hands of the Red Army. The author, who very intelligent, is lucky enough to have travelled Europe and also speak Russian. As such this gives a unique perspective as she is able to communicate with her Russian conquerors. She records the struggle for survival, the boredom, the fear, uncertainty and the war.
What is gleamed from the endless rape, violence and hunger is that the author wants to, and plans to survive. She has not given up on herself yet. As the Soviet soldiers first poor into the city and our heroine is unaware Hitler has killed himself and the Nazi regime has collapsed, she and those around her are raped. However, she learns quickly, she must get protection. The only way to do this is to become the girlfriend of an officer in the Red Army, if she sleeps with him, the others won鈥檛 violate her. She chooses a young man named Anatol who is a lieutenant. Simple and easy going, they are not exactly a match, but it works. She is then able to get food for 鈥榯he widow鈥� her neighbour and lodger Herr Pauli. Over the next two months, as Germany changes and the war ends the narrators relationships with those around her and her countrymen changes.
This is a sober picture of the true horrors of war. The misery, the death and destruction. However, the focus is provided by a point of view not usually recorded in history. The civilian woman. She faces sexual violence like so many in her position would have faced for time in memoriam. She also expresses some very real and human points of view. She sees a lot of dead bodies, but wonders when she鈥檒l see her first person die. She recognises the Russians are humans too, but come from a far off place, where values and life is different. She acknowledges that they have to get drunk to rape the women around them. She also sees what it takes to survive. Hiding as some neighbours do with their you f daughters, or with Herr Pauli who sacrifices a friendship for potatoes.
The book was first published in 1954 and then again in English in 2003. Some have questioned the authenticity of the diary. Beevor and German writer Walter Kempowski both state they believe the diary is true. What is does is expose that taboo of mass rape of Berlin falling through collapse of the Nazi regime. Something denied by Russia today. It is believed the author of the book was journalist Martha Hillers who died in 2001. Although my edition of the book does not confirm this for definite. But I do know that the author is very talented, intelligent and has written a truly astonishing read.

"Poor words, you do not suffice,"
this is what she wrote in her diary.
鈥淭he truth lay in the mass of closely observed detail,鈥� says this book's editor. 鈥淭he anonymous diarist possessed an eye so consistent and authentic that even the most imaginative forger would never have been able to reproduce her vision of events.鈥� Indeed, you sense the authenticity in these words--even if the book really was authenticated. Being alongside the author during her private moments of journaling creates spaces of intimacy that are so informative because they are so closely observed by her. This is a human experience laid bare, an experience that you read about and find difficult to forget:
I don't want to have you afraid of reading such heavy stuff written with lyrical grace but these words will slice through the page and come at you. It is a necessary read. One that the women's issues woman in me had to tackle. It is not that there is sensationalized or harsh detailing here, for this is beautiful prose written effectively with introspective reasoning. Pity is not grasped for, partly because the author does not even allow herself more than a couple short moments of self-pity. It is fact and experience blending harmoniously and when you think about it, it is so nice to know that such art was being produced during war. The close of war, I should say, because the timeframe here is during the period of Germany鈥檚 collapse, when Hitler commits suicide and the Russian army gains control of Berlin.
鈥淚t began with silence, 鈥漵he writes. I read this line and try to imagine how the noisome brutality that this thirty-four-year-old German and Russian-speaking journalist had to endure, could possibly be accompanied by a silent night and silent morning: 鈥淥utside, a bright blue, cloudless sky.鈥� Yet I鈥檓 only left with a few seconds to brood because later, the noise of Russian antiaircraft equipment pierced the German early morning quiet. Jeeps, then boots. Motorcycles. Laughter on once-deserted streets. And then the cracking of windows as Russian soldiers climbed into homes and businesses, demanding what were their spoils of war. Or so they thought.
Poor words, you do not suffice.
Women and pubescent girls, used and abused (the best estimates say more than 100,000 women). But I won't detail these heartrending moments. I will tell you this: 鈥淕erman women were not supposed to talk about the reality of rape; and German men preferred not to be seen as impotent onlookers when the Russians claimed their spoils of war.鈥� No wonder it took more than five years to find a German publisher for this book that was 鈥渜uickly relegated to obscurity.鈥�
Yet there is so much more written here. It is about survival and "herd instinct." It is a memoir set apart from others of that era, one that you read and remember. One that you should read, especially since it was practically banned, since the author was chided for even writing about her experience of being subjected to numerous assaults, since she told a friend she didn't want another publisher until after her death.
Poor words, you do not suffice.

This is a human experience laid bare, an experience that you read about and find difficult to forget:
The day breaks gray and pink. The cold blows through the empty window sockets, filling our mouths with the taste of smoke. Once again the roosters. I have this early hour all to myself. I wipe everything down, sweep away cigarette butts, bread crumbs, fish bones, rub the brandy rings from the tabletop. Then a frugal wash in the tub, with two cups of water. This is my happiest time, between five and seven in the morning, while the widow and Herr Pauli are still asleep鈥攊f happy is the right word. It鈥檚 a relative happiness. I do some mending and then soap up my extra shirt. We know from experience that no Russians come at this early hour.

Women and pubescent girls, used and abused (the best estimates say more than 100,000 women). But I won't detail these heartrending moments. I will tell you this: 鈥淕erman women were not supposed to talk about the reality of rape; and German men preferred not to be seen as impotent onlookers when the Russians claimed their spoils of war.鈥� No wonder it took more than five years to find a German publisher for this book that was 鈥渜uickly relegated to obscurity.鈥�
Yet there is so much more written here. It is about survival and "herd instinct." It is a memoir set apart from others of that era, one that you read and remember. One that you should read, especially since it was practically banned, since the author was chided for even writing about her experience of being subjected to numerous assaults, since she told a friend she didn't want another publisher until after her death.
Poor words, you do not suffice.
A stranger鈥檚 hands expertly pulling apart my jaws. Eye to eye. Then with great deliberation he drops a gob of gathered spit into my mouth. I鈥檓 numb. Not with disgust, only cold. My spine is frozen: icy, dizzy shivers around the back of my head. I feel myself gliding and falling, down, down, through the pillows and the floorboards. So that鈥檚 what it means to sink into the ground.
Once more eye to eye. The stranger鈥檚 lips open, yellow teeth, one in front half broken off. The corners of the mouth lift, tiny wrinkles radiate from the corners of his eyes. The man is smiling.

I think everybody should read this book. When I began it I warned others that it is about rape in wartime. And that is true. Any subject in a good author鈥檚 hands can be worth reading. It is the ability of the author to make that subject comprehensible to readers that distinguishes a good author. We know now who the anonymous writer of these diaries was. Her name is Marta Hillers. The German writer Kurt Marek was responsible for the initial publication of the book in 1954, in the United States. The author was anonymous. Only later was it published in Germany. Only after her death in 2003 was it revealed who the writer was.
The book is based on the author鈥檚 diary accounts from the 20th of April to the 22nd of June 1945. It gives us a personal account of one woman鈥檚 experiences when the Red army occupied Berlin. Her story lets us understand what she and those around her experienced. What they lived through.
When I read this book I thought: I am being shown a world that I could never, ever imagine. It was beyond belief. The horror of it! Fear. Hunger. Being alone, completely alone. And it is hard to imagine that people can act as they do. It is important to read this book. We must acknowledge how people can behave. Yes, you and I can behave so deplorably too.
So then you will think, why should I read this? Why should I put myself through this? We must understand in our gut what has happened. A book like this makes us aware both in our head and in our stomach, both with clear thoughts and powerful emotions what another human being has experienced. And why is this important? It is important since it teaches us to not judge others. Before judging another you must put yourself in their shoes. This author has let us walk in her shoes. And the writing shows us how we human beings behave.
Yes, this book is about rape, but it is also about survival. It is about hunger too. The book begins with hunger and ends with hunger. How many of us reading this book has any real comprehension of being HUNGRY? Can we come to understand what we might do, what choices we might make if we were hungry as she was? You will understand her choices when you read this book. I will say it outright: in an effort to survive this woman realized that she needed to find a Russian that would provide her with food and safety. One鈥檚 chances of not being raped were minimal. If you are going to be raped anyway, why not make sure you get food in the bargain? By aligning yourself with a Russian of higher rank you could perhaps have him protect you from indiscriminate raping. But to understand the world she was living in you must read her words. When this book came out it was the women who were accused of bad behavior. The author was a survivor. I respect this woman. She was a journalist. She was well educated. She had traveled through Europe. She knew Russian. All of this is evident in her diary writing. She used her head and she survived. How can you look down on such a person? How can you criticize her if you have no idea what she has experienced?
You can only understand her choices by following her diary writings.
And the ending鈥�. When her boyfriend comes back he doesn鈥檛 understand her actions. He too thinks she has degraded herself. We do not know if eventually they can bridge this incomprehension of what each has experienced in the war. I was so happy before her boyfriend came back. She had survived. I was so dam proud of her. I was crushed by his incomprehension. If he had read the book, he would maybe understand what she had gone through. If you read the book you will understand what she went through. If you read the book you will not judge others too quickly. I don鈥檛 think this book is terribly sad or depressing. I am so happy she survived. Dam, she is some strong woman, this author, Marta Hillers. She has let us see what happened to her. I admire her for surviving. I am so very glad she shared her experiences with us. I thoroughly understand her wish that the book have an anonymous author while she lived.
One does not read this book to find out if her boyfriend comes back. For this reason I do not think my telling you this is a 鈥渟poiler鈥�. Only those of you wanting to understand another human being should bother to read this book. You have to want to get into their being. You have to want to become them in an effort to understand them and what they lived through.
There is a little boy at the end of the book who sees an old horse pulling a cart. He turns to his mother and says, 鈥淢utti, can we eat the horse?鈥� Earlier in the book another horse was still moving when he was cut into by hungry Berliners. Have you ever been that hungry? Do you have any idea how their world was? Do you want to understand their world? Read the book.
Be very careful before you judge another human being鈥檚 behavior.
I must add this. Although the subject matter is not light, the way the author expresses herself will make you smile. She calls herself the 鈥渁utomatic walking machine鈥�, as she trudges to work鈥�.. This author can write. I wish I could copy parts of the book to show you, but I cannot use both Vocatex and Zoomtex at the same time. I need Vocatex to read the book and Zoomtex to write my review. When I am writing the review, I cannot read the book 鈥� so no quotes! This is so annoying to me.

Het duurde even voordat ik een verslag over dit boek kon schrijven. Ik moest het eerst laten bezinken, want ik vond het behoorlijk schokkend. Het dagboek geeft een dagelijks verslag van het leven van een jonge vrouw in Berlijn in een uiterst dramatische tijd in de geschiedenis van deze stad. Het dagboek vangt aan op 20 april 1945, het tijdstip dat men de beschietingen door de Russen al kan horen en eindigt halverwege juni 1945. De vrouw is duidelijk een intelligente vrouw, kosmopolitisch, belezen. Ze schrijft in helder en mooi proza. Ze spreekt Frans, Engels en een beetje Russisch. Ze heeft veel gereisd en in het buitenland gewoond, maar heeft om onduidelijke redenen toch verkozen om in Duitsland te blijven. Ze werkte bij een krant, hoewel je nooit te weten krijgt wat haar functie precies was. Bij de aanvang van de dagelijkse dagboekaantekeningen beschrijft ze haar angst en die van haar buren, het merendeel vrouwen - mannen zijn uiteraard een zeldzaamheid - in de schuilkelders. De reputatie van de Russen is hen al vooruit gesneld, dus men wacht in doodsangst af. Wanneer de Russen dan daadwerkelijk Berlijn hebben ingenomen, wordt de angst van de vrouwen waarheid en worden ze massaal verkracht. En dagelijks weer. Oud, jong, alle vrouwen. Niemand wordt ontzien. Ik vond het heel schokkend om me te realiseren op welke schaal dit is gebeurd, letterlijk honderdduizenden vrouwen zijn in de Russische bezettingszone verkracht. Onze dagboekschrijfster maakt na enige tijd heel rationele beslissingen hoe zij het beste kan overleven, aan eten kan komen en hoe ze het beste kan vermijden om dagelijks talloze malen verkracht te worden. Ze kiest voor de verkrachting door hoger geplaatste militairen die ze probeert zelf uit te kiezen. Ze slaagt daar redelijk goed in. Ik vermoed dat dit de reden is dat ze altijd anoniem heeft willen blijven. 65 jaar na dato kan men alleen maar begrip voor haar strategie opbrengen, maar direct na de oorlog wilde men natuurlijk geen woord horen over het leed van Duitsers. Eigen schuld, dikke bult, dat moet duidelijk zijn! En terecht, gezien het onvoorstelbare leed dat door de nazi鈥檚 werd aangericht. Maar de tijd is ook aangebroken om aandacht te besteden aan het lot van de Duitsers en niet voorbij te gaan aan de verschrikkelijke gevolgen die zij ook hebben ondervonden.
Wat mij bijzonder trof zijn haar beschrijvingen van het isolement waarin de mensen leefden. Men had er geen weet van wat er een paar straten verderop gebeurde, laat staan wat er gebeurde in het grotere verband. Het naaste stadsdeel was onbereikbaar gebied. Niemand durfde zijn directe omgeving te verlaten. Zoals onze vrouw opmerkt, had men het gevoel naar de tijd van de holbewoners te zijn teruggeworpen, geen water, licht, verwarming, radio of kranten. Eten zoeken was de voornaamste bezigheid. De mensen spraken elkaar even in het daglicht bij de waterpomp. Er was geen nieuws. Nu en dan een gerucht, zoals dat de familie Goebbels zelfmoord had gepleegd. Er was ook een hardnekkig gerucht dat Hitler er vandoor was gegaan in een onderzeeboot. Ergens in juni kan men lezen dat onze schrijfster zeer geschokt is over een bericht over de vernietigingskampen. Zelfs half juni wisten de mensen niet dat Hitler dood was, maar ze verwensten hem wel. Zelf schreef de anonieme vrouw zo nu en dan als slotzin voor de dag in haar dagboek: 'en dit alles hebben we aan onze Adolf te danken'.
Half juni houdt het dagboek op. Zij is dan aan het werk als een van de vele vrouwen die het puin aan het ruimen zijn. Ik hoop dat het haar goed is gegaan in het nieuwe Duitsland. Waarschijnlijk wel, ze geeft blijk van grote wilskracht en uithoudingsvermogen.
Nadat ik dit boek had gelezen, heb ik me afgevraagd hoe al die vrouwen in de Russische bezettingszone, dat later de DDR werd, het hebben kunnen rijmen dat hun verkrachters volgens het nieuwe regime hun beste kameraden werden. Dit werd door het DDR regime waarschijnlijk op ingenieuze wijze omzeild, de vrouwen met een levenslang trauma achterlatend.
Wat mij bijzonder trof zijn haar beschrijvingen van het isolement waarin de mensen leefden. Men had er geen weet van wat er een paar straten verderop gebeurde, laat staan wat er gebeurde in het grotere verband. Het naaste stadsdeel was onbereikbaar gebied. Niemand durfde zijn directe omgeving te verlaten. Zoals onze vrouw opmerkt, had men het gevoel naar de tijd van de holbewoners te zijn teruggeworpen, geen water, licht, verwarming, radio of kranten.

I was floored. Jaw on the floor, heart in my stomach, tears in my eyes floored. This book should be required reading for all women everywhere. It should be on high school reading lists and mandatory for all new military recruits. About what war does to women and children, about how the men go and fight and forget that if they lose it鈥檚 the women who suffer. Who are raped repeatedly and who watch their children starve to death in the rubble of their lives. But Anonymous writes her journal entries with such a lack of self-pity and with so much humor and life, that this book is more a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit than a depressing tome. I can鈥檛 recommend it enough.
