Table Of Contents

Prologue, 1942 -- I was to learn to assert myself : childhood and youth in Berlin -- Alone in the icy wastes : forced labor for Siemens -- A rainbow of unimaginable beauty : attempts at flight ; going to ground -- The enemy is doing all this to us : the first winter in hiding -- I was the girl without a name : after 1943, something like a normal life -- I didn't have to surrender : the war is over
