“We’ll come back,” said Papa.
“I know,” said Anna... “But it won’t be the same - we won’t belong. Do you think we’ll ever really belong anywhere?”
“I suppose not,” said Papa. “Not the way people belong who have lived in one place all their lives. But we’ll belong a little in lots of places, and I think that may be just as good.”
Judith Kerr, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

“Herhalde ünlü olabilmek için kötü bir çocukluk geçirmek gerekiyor diye düşündü Anna.”
Judith Kerr, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

“If you want to write about disasters, that’s what you must do. It’s no use trying to write what other people want. The only way to write anything good is to try to please yourself.”

(Page 22).”
Judith Kerr, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
