"ON THE OTHER SIDE is a human document of great historical interest: an account by a cultured, liberal, anti-Nazi woman of the day-to-day destruction of a city and its people. Firmly rooted in Hamburg -- her father had been its Lord Mayor, her husband, Emil Wolff, was a distinguished professor at the University -- and yet cosmopolitan in outlook, with strong cultural and family ties with 'the enemy,' Mathilde Wolff-Moenckeberg offers a unique perspective. Her letters give a harrowing description of civilian life under the incessant bombardment of total war. We also experience the propagandist reporting of the war from the German press and public announcements, and the civilian reaction to the ebb and flow of the tide leading up to the final invasion of Germany's frontiers.
