The areas which we heard were being liberated were as strange to us as the jungles of Africa, and didn't seem part of the city I have lived in my entire life.
Die Gebiete, von denen wir gehört hatten, sie seien befreit, waren uns so fremd wie Dschungel in Afrika und schienen gar nicht Teil der Stadt zu sein, in der ich mein gesamtes Leben verbracht hatte.
