Quote by Anna Louise Strong

“When the government evacuated citizens from areas invaded by Hitler, deliberate preference was given to Jews. The reason was sound; Jews would surely be killed by the Germans while Russians had a better chance to survive. This policy saved some two million Jews from death, but did not endear them to the Russians left behind.”

Why not go for a jog instead, or reread one of Patrick O'Brian's tremendous tales of the sea?”
