Quote by Judith Kerr

“There was a crash, closer than the rest, which shook the building and as Anna felt the floor move a little beneath her the word “bombardment” came into her mind. I’m in a bombardment, she thought. I’m lying on the floor of the Hotel Continental in my pink pyjamas in the middle of a bombardment.”

And the fact that the war might soon be over made everyone wish, quite desperately, to stay alive.”
