Status Updates From Жінка в Берліні

Now that things have settled, rape is no longer a daily threat, but something at this point the women are mostly willing to speak to each other about their experiences

«siempre hay un momento en que una está tan muerta de cansancio que éste vence al miedo»

«sucesos que luego serán canciones y textos. sin embargo, ahora, en su proximidad se convierten en miedo y en pesada carga. la historia es muy pesada»

«resulta extraño comprobar la cantidad de cosas que una hace ya por última vez»

A sense of normality is finally returning as people are able to get food, things like faucet water actually works again. There is a clear sense of trauma, especially in the women, that is still impacting them. And yet there really is a sense that the absolute worst is over.

There really is a sense of how not everyone is experiencing the same thing besides the unifying fear that connects all the Germans in Berlin. Some are suffering far less, and people not too far away or hours away are suffering far more.
