Description
The Berlin Diaries 1940-45 by Marie Vassiltchikov In the midst of World War II, Marie Vassiltchikov, a White Russian emigree, found herself caught in Hitler's Germany. Initially, she and her family maintained a facade of normalcy, attending social events and parties, but as the Nazi regime tightened its grip, Vassiltchikov became increasingly disillusioned with the brutal and repressive nature of the regime. As she worked in the Information Department of the Foreign Ministry, Vassiltchikov became involved in the Resistance, and her diaries vividly describe her role in the events of July 1944 and its aftermath. Living in Berlin during the Allied bombing raids, Vassiltchikov grew into a strong-minded and courageous woman, displaying bravery in the face of the Gestapo and the SS. Through her diaries, Vassiltchikov recounts her experiences, including her work as a nurse in Vienna before fleeing the advancing Red Army. This personal and powerful account offers a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history.
