“The world can be better if there is love, tolerance, and humility.” ​— ​IRENA SENDLER”
Helen Constantine, Saving the Children of the Holocaust : True Stories of Remarkable Women who Risked their Lives to Save Thousands of Children during World War II

“Throughout her life, it is said that whenever she was in a challenging situation, she would remember her father's words, “Always save another person from drowning, even if you don't know how to swim.”
Helen Constantine, Saving the Children of the Holocaust : True Stories of Remarkable Women who Risked their Lives to Save Thousands of Children during World War II

“In Paris there are wide cityscapes like nowhere else. Habit has made us indifferent to them. But those who wander around the city—keenly sniffing the air, looking to be moved, to be amazed—are very familiar with these places.”
Helen Constantine, Paris Metro Tales
