The Walls Came Tumbling Down, by Henriette Roosenburg. 248 pp. New York: The Viking Press. $3.50
It is now more than eleven years since a young Dutch girl, aptly called Zip, and three of her compatriots were released from their Nazi prison. They discovered they were in Waldheim, somewhere near the Polish border. Hitler was dead, the Nazis routed, and Russians were pouring in. The surrounding countryside lay under total anarchy. Roads were blocked, bridges were down, and personal identity was meaningless. Murder and rape were threats to anyone who dared to travel.
