Recollections

About the Book

When World War II broke out, some were trapped in Berlin, among them many foreigners, such as the author of this book. Her stay until almost the end of the war in Berlin drove her into situation and actions she would have never dreamt of. Spies, poets, radio commentators, and political intrigues were the order of the day. Somehow, she had to survive, which is what she recollects in this book.
