It's interesting that in a world of complete destruction and chaos with death and pain in every direction, people still find small things to value. Some have their teddy bears and some have their prayer book, but these things are more than just lucky personal items; they are hope.

i dont think you could have said it any better. the article also could not have put it any better than saying that those objects are a reminder of their lives before the war and, like you said, hope that they may return to that life and be that person once again.
Hope is a wonderful human quality that makes life bearable regardless of a person's the position in life. Hope is a precious commodity that is required to survive war and it was very reassuring that hope, in whatever form, is still present in their lives.
