From the introduction by Israel Guttman to City Within a City By Basia Berman:
“After a break which lasted several years I have begun writing again” – thus opens the diary of Basia Berman. It ends with the following words: “I cannot write anymore, the candle is going out. Once again sounds of the front come from the direction of the Vistula”.

The diary was written in Polish, when Basia (Batya) and her husband, Dr. Adolf-Abraham Berman, lived on the Aryan side of Warsaw – the part designated by the Nazis for Polish Christians only.
