A Woman in Berlin (German: Eine Frau in Berlin)
(1959/2003) is an anonymous memoir by a German woman (reputed in 2003 to be journalist Marta Hillers[citation needed]). It covers the weeks from 20 April to 22 June 1945, during the liberation of Berlin and its occupation by the Red Army. The writer describes the widespread rapes by Soviet soldiers, including her own, and the women's pragmatic approach to survival, often taking Soviet officers for protection. It was published first in English in 1954 in the United States. When published in German in 1953,[1] the book was either "ignored or reviled" in Germany,[citation needed] as people reacted negatively to the portrayal of their women as victims. The author refused to have another edition published in her lifetime.
