Nisam očekivala ovakav ton, često šaljiv i vedar, kojim je zabeležena strašna muka nekolicine ljudi. Reči, misli i osećanja jedne devojčice, jednog deteta. Strahovi i radosti, dosadni dani i dani puni strepnje, nervoza, glad, prijateljstvo, nada... Sve to kroz oči jedne devojčice, koja piše kao odrasla, koja se nosi sa užasom bolje nego što bih ja ikad mogla. Naklon do poda i neverovatna tuga što je tako malo falilo da bude jedna od preživelih.

"A thought:
We miss so much here, so very much and for so long now: I miss it too, just as you do. I'm not talking of outward things, for we are looked after in that way; no, I mean the inward things. Like you, I long for freedom and fresh air, but I believe now that we have ample compensation for our privations. I realized this quite suddenly when I sat in front of the window this morning. I mean inward compensation.
When I looked outside right into the depth of the Nature and God, then I was happy, really happy.
...
Riches can all be lost, but that happiness in your own heart can only be veiled, and it will still bring you happiness again, as long as you live. As long as you can look fearlessly up into the heavens, as long as you know that you are pure within, and that you will still find happiness."

"As you can easily imagine we often ask ourselves here despairingly: "What, oh, what is the use of the war? Why can't people live peacefully together? Why all this destruction?"
The question is very understandable, but no one has found a satisfactory answer to it so far. Yes, why do they make still more gigantic planes, still heavier bombs and, at the same time, prefabricated houses for reconstruction? Why should millions be spent daily on the war and yet there's not a penny available for medical services, artists, or for poor people?
Why do some people have to starve, while there are surpluses rotting in other parts of the world. Oh, why are people so crazy?"
