Has anyone read "A Woman In Berlin"?
I heard a book-club review on the radio about it a few days ago and it sounded pretty interesting, in part because it was mentioned that the women regularly joked about their own repeated rape by the Russians. Plus, it seemed to be a particularly interesting point in history to discover more about.

I read it last year based on Anna's recommendation - it's an amazing work, and you can't help but be astounded by the author's fortitude.
