Featured text: “War radically changed the daily rhythm of our family’s life. Everyone must always be alert. Everything must be charged, fuel, water, & food. One thing changed for the positive though. I have a new sense of home, not in a place but within myself. I find it helpful for my mental state to create my home wherever I am now bringing some echo of what I had there, and build something new. In a way I truly found myself.”
