The Cats in Krasinki Square is a book that tells about a young girl whose family has been destroyed by war. Even as she and her sister struggle to survive amid the war’s chaos, they risk their lives on a plan to help those still trapped behind Warsaw’s infamous Ghetto walls.
And while my student and I were discussing the content of the story, we suddenly stopped thinking to ourselves how war can affect us as individuals. The young student I was with was concerned about her family asking questions about the main character of the book. I was more concerned about what the future holds if conflicts and wars continue to happen.
Maybe the war that is to happen won’t be the same war we have heard from the past. The war that will escalate will be a war against change: the change in our daily lifestyle, the change in our attitude and the change the world is now manifesting.
