Ми були в Берліні на площі універсітета Гумбальда і бачили невеличкий меморіал про цю історичну подію. Це було дуже корисно, знову думати про це.

People are Dying, Houses are Burning. Rescuers and Doctors Who Come to Help are Dying. Children are Dying, but Parents are Left Alive and Praying to God for Death, Because They Cannot and Do Not Want to Live Without Their Children, Parents Die, and Children Remain Orphans. Люди помирають, будинки горять. Рятувальники та лікарі, які приходять на допомогу, гинуть.
