More Quotes From Fern Schumer Chapman

Most German perpetrators were never punished or rewarded for their behavior, but they had learned something about themselves.

Fern Schumer Chapman
The past is a presence between us. In all my mother does and says, the past continually discloses itself in the smallest ways. She sees it directly; I see its shadow.

I have absorbed a sense of what she has suffered, what she has lost, even what her mother endured and handed down. It is my emotional gene map.
