A Woman in Berlin |
|
In an apartment block on a rubble-strewn street, a cross section of German women are treated as trophies by their liberators, and must negotiate the shifting rules of a new, brutal norm. For the story’s chronicler that entails becoming the mistress of two Russian officers to secure protection and food and avoid the mass rape other women experience, justified by the Red Army as one of the spoils of victory.
