“The Nazis can strip us of our homes, our belongings, our clothes, and even our hair, but no matter how much they take away from us, they can’t remove our hope. It’s ours. We can’t lose it. You hear more and more Allied air raids. The war won’t last forever, and we have to prepare ourselves for peace. The children have to keep learning, because they’re going to find a country and a world in ruins, and it will be they, and you, the teenagers, who will have to rebuild it.”
