She puts pen to paper in order to relate accu- rately the events that left their mark on these four years and four days of occupation. She makes us feel the intense and constant fear the civilians lived with to the sound of bombs, shells and machine guns. She describes the mere citizens’ life and daily difficulties such as malnutrition and treason, but also the great mutual aid that occurred.
