Quotes by Henry Orenstein

“Winter came to an end, and spring arrived, in its fully glory. I remember looking at the blooming trees and flowers and thinking of how incongruous is the beauty of nature against the ugliness of man.”
― Henry Orenstein, I Shall Live: Surviving Against All Odds, 1939-1945
