Everyone carries the weight of WWII with them in their recent family history, and yet it is rarely spoken about within families, because veterans and survivors don't tend to talk.

At some point you just have to turn around and face your life head on.

There's what people say, and there's what people mean, and I like to explore the difference between the two.

I think all of us are intrigued to imagine what we as individuals would become, if we were ever tested as hard as that golden generation was.

We don't know our hearts until life puts us to the test, and WWII fascinates because it was the last time everyone was simultaneously pushed to their limit.

In a few breaths' time I will speak some sad words to you. But you must hear them the same way we have agreed to see scars now. Sad words are just another beauty.

However long the moon disappears, someday it must shine again.
