    Hana Dubová on a Danish farm in the early 1940s with one of the families that took her in. Excerpt from a letter she wrote when 16 years old, in August, 1941 to her parents: "Yesterday I worked in the field. I was there alone and I was thinking: What a big land! I hear machines working not far from me in another field. I hear the train behind the highway. I see seagulls flying above me. I see thousands of raspberries. I know I have to work but sometimes I just lay down for a few minutes and enjoy all around, observe all around. Oh, God, how beautiful it is." (Photo courtesy of Rachael Cerrotti)
