“The best remedy for those who are frightened, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone with the sky, nature and God. For then and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature’s beauty and simplicity.”

I’ve read holocaust books before, namely The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz, which gave me a LOT of context behind this book and a look into what made the different camps different.

I swear to god if Kieran or Kiel dies I’m gonna lose my goddamn mind.
