This was a secret diary, written in encoded Polish in 1944 when Basia Berman, and her husband Adolf-Abraham Berman, lived on the Aryan side of Warsaw-the part designated by the Nazis as being for Polish Christians only-and led a secret network helping thousands of Jews to hide and survive.

"I would like to describe this state within a state, or rather, a city within a city, this most underground of all underground communities, whose members met with each other, worked and talked in the midst of population which didn't suspect anything; where every street, every coffee shop, every tram stop called to mind dozens of unique adventures. Every name was false, every word that was uttered carried a double meaning, and every telephone conversation was more encrypted than the secret diplomatic documents of embassies."
