Jane Yolen Quote
One day Ilka told me they were moving to America. Her papa, who was a professor, had found work there. Is it far away? I asked. America? We hadn’t studied geography yet. Over the ocean, she said. I’d never seen the ocean. I thought it was like the pond in the nearby park, only bigger. I will visit, I said. I will write, she said. The Nazis came. We did neither.
