About this product

Product Information

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. This diary was first published in America in 1954 in an English translation and in Britain in 1955. A German language edition was published five years later in Geneva and was met with tremendous controversy. In 2003, over forty years later, it was republished in Germany to critical acclaim - and more controversy. This diary has been unavailable since the 1960s and is now newly translated into English. A Woman in Berlin is an astonishing and deeply affecting account.

  • A good personal view of war making men consider their morals and honesty.

    How do women feel when they are surrounded by soldiers? Does survival change your moralities? As a man reading this book there are feelings of disgust, shame, understanding of what war does to a man and a real question - what would I do? A shame Martha Hiller died before she allowed this book to be published. She could have been embarrassed but she would have stood out as a great survivor and a great hero to many women both at that time and all the wars that have been waged in the world since.
