Four Girls from Berlin Quotes

“But it is an American thing to love one's roots. American nationality, I mused, is a very special and unique phenomenon in the world. In America, but for Native Americans, all of our forebears hailed from somewhere else. And for all the grief that brought my parents to America, it translates into my good fortune to be born an American. In this hypnotic moment of clarity, I knew where I belonged.”
― Marianne Meyerhoff, Four Girls from Berlin: A True Story of a Friendship that Defied the Holocaust
