You captured Milena beautifully. I didn't know of Milena Jesenska until I read this post and, yes, I think it's wonderful that she lives on through her writings. I feel deeply saddened when I think of all the people murdered during the Holocaust...so tragic. :(<br /><br />Sadly, the human race can be very cruel and indifferent to one another, not to mention the other beautiful creatures we share this planet with. I wonder if we will ever learn. <br /><br />On a happier note, I hope you enjoy a beautiful weekend ~ xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-41659546300891913632012-07-21T00:01:01.280-03:002012-07-21T00:01:01.280-03:00Wow...that's all I can say!!!
