You go into a hospital, and it's full of wounded kids. So you write what you see and how it is. You don't say there's 37 wounded children in this hospital, but maybe there's 38 wounded children on the other side. You write what you see.

Martha Gellhorn

Adults could not persuade these small survivors that it is always necessary to make the world safe for democracy, but never safe for children.
