“But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.”

“The war. It was continuously spoken about, but no one believed it would actually break out. (…) My nerves are strung. How can I stand it? People are sealing their windows, everyone wants to defend themselves, but does not know how to do it. Oh, God! Have mercy upon us. What comes next...?”

“In bright days, when it did not rain (…) smoke plumes could be seen – they came from fires made by the fugitive Jews who wanted to get some warmth, baked potatoes. Before the war, such a view used to make one think of a good time, but now these evenings were not fun – they were a life necessity, a daily struggle for survival.”
