Far from the East End Quotes Showing 1-1 of 1
“My prayers were always the same. 'Please God keep everyone safe from the bombs' followed by a litany of blessings...The length of my blessing list depended on how tired I happened to be, but I always ended it with , 'God bless everyone, except the Germans.'

Many years later I confessed my wartime prayer ending to a German friend. He laughed. 'Don't feel bad, Iris. We said the same thing about the English!'

The children of war learn to hate at an early age.”
Iris Jones Simantel, Far from the East End
