Erika von Schluetow:
We've all become animals with exactly one instinct left. Self-preservation. Now take me, Miss Frost. Bombed out a dozen times, everything caved in and pulled out from under me.

What do you think it was like to be a woman in this town when the Russians first swept in? I kept going.
