Quotes by Tod Lending  (?)

“Who said that God allows it? You think just because something bad happens, it’s because God allows it? Nonsense. Rather than question God, I question man. Why are people so cruel to one another? This is not the fault of God, but of man himself. It is man alone who is responsible for behaving in such stupid, evil ways. God is good and just. When we suffer, he’s there. Believe me. You just need to believe in him to know that. No—I’ve not lost faith in God, only in man.”
Tod Lending, The Umbrella Maker's Son: A Gripping WWII Love Story of a Jewish Teenager's Survival in Nazi Poland
