Negative Positive
Title: A gripping diary of post-war Berlin by a woman journalist.
Review: I have read some of the negative reviews which question the diary's authenticity, but I have to say that I found it often reads like a stream of consciousness, as we would expect from a diary. It is not a cold recitation of the events following the fall of Berlin, but incorporates her thoughts and feelings during those days. That said, critics still argue that she did not give us enough personal information about herself. However, if she was indeed a journalist, it is understandable and it seems more probable that she would focus on the details around her rather than on herself.I highly recommend this diary; it is a haunting account of survival and the endurance of the human spirit.
