We're in a time of strong men. What happened during the Holocaust during WWII" "My grandfather was a resistance fighter during the war" "When you're young, you think these things are far away in time, but actually, they happened quite recently and it happens again and again" "As an artist, I'm not a politician, but I do believe that we need to be more collaborative about how we protect children in conflict situations and in society in general"
