A number of phrases concerning the guide:
How can one nice love change a life, carry individuals into battle with their households and communities, drive them away from their homeland and in the end upend their future? How does one develop up within the midst of surprising historic occasions, from the Second World Warfare and the Occupation, to the persecution and mass extermination of the Jews?
What’s homeland when one is compelled to wander geographically to outlive? Who’s a stranger and who is just not in a spot, in instances of fluid borders and violent modifications? How does one treatment homesickness? Is data probably the most highly effective technique of coming of age and transcending class and geographical boundaries?

An excerpt:
Rhodes, September 11, 1943
Each time I move by Mantraki I take a look at the younger girls sitting within the cafes with a touch of jealousy. They converse Italian. They put on a cape and gloves. They give the impression of being extraordinarily agile of their quick attire. They’re comfy of their clear socks, as in the event that they had been born in them. It amazes me how completely different they give the impression of being from my kin and neighbors. Onerous to think about them tossing chickens within the air on the eve of the Atonement and being bathed in a bathe of feathers. Or to reverently kiss the palms of the aged. They do not even appear to have any previous kin. So are their companions. A nice aura surrounds these {couples}. Not precisely pleasure, not even love. Like a model new mild, onerous and sharp collectively, that fell upon them from heaven and enlightened them. The conflict possibly.
