Excellent. I can't say anything that no one else has said, however: I am a Holocaust researcher, and I do emphasize that it is important to read and understand as many varying experiences during the war as possible.
This book has always been among my recommendations when teaching Reich-era Germany, as much of what the author discusses and experiences impacted Germany society in the post-war era and we still feel parts of it to this day. One famous woman (who is not the author) who experienced April 1945 similar to Anonymous is the wife of former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Hannelore Kohl. Hannelore made headlines in Germany and abroad when she ended her life in 2001, partially in response to the trauma she experienced in April 1945.
It's graphic and not for the faint of heart, but its an excellent reminder that there were many different types/categories of victims born out of this war.
