__pages 1-20__ **(due Friday 5/2)** What are the signs of trouble? Page 7- German troops arrived in Hungarian Page 7- Before 3 days had passed, German Army cars had appeared in their streets. Page 8- The Germans arrested the head of the Jewish community. Page 11- The ghetto was to be wiped out and they had to move, taking only personal belongings.

AND How do the Jews of Sighet react? Page 14- They all ran outside and did as they were told. Page 7- The Jews began to be happy because the Germans weren't showing any signs of cruelty. Page 11- They had to pack their personal belongings and a small amount of food and water. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE YOUR REACTIONS. MS. N.

I think that the Jews responded correctly and how they should have, but they were taken by surprise and the Germans didn't show any signs of cruelty at first, but then they made them move out of the Ghettos and transfered to a concentration camp. I was surprised that the Jews thought that the Germans were gonna be nice to them in the first place. __pages 21 – 26__ **(due Monday 5/5)** Who is Madame Schachter? Page 22- She was crying out that she saw a fire. Page 23- People think she's going mad because there is no fire. Page 24- She calmed down, but didn't calm down fully. AND What happens to her? Page 23- People ignore her and don't really care for her. Page 24- People gag her and try to shut her up by beating her up. Page 25- They tell the Germans that she needs to go to the hospital.

Reaction- I believe that Madame Schachter had gone mad from being sepreated from her family for such a long time. So, she wasn't getting any sleep making her even more insane, and she was lonely because no one was there for her. I think that Madame Schachter was killed once they found out that she had gone insane, and her little boy too.

__pages 27 – 44__ **(due Wednesday 5/7)** What are the specific acts, events and ideas that DESTROY faith? The holocaust was a major event that destroyed the Jewish faith, it set up concentration camps that were to exterminate every Jewish man, woman, or child. A man named Hitler, head of the Nazis told the Germans that once they exterminated all the Jewish folk, every thing would be alright, they obliviously accepted this talk and did whatever it took to complete it. Before they got to complete it however, the War was ended, and the concentration camps were broken down, freeing the Jewish people. AND What are the specific acts, events and ideas that REKINDLE faith? Things like Christmas and Hanukkah, which celebrate different things, but each event brings groups together to celebrate, and meet with family and have fun, and to celebrate what happened or is happening on that date.

My Reaction- I think that what the Nazis did in the Holocaust was wrong and they should let people believe what people want to believe. The Holocaust should have been completely avoided, because believing in something that other people don't believe shouldn't be acted as a wrong thing, we should respect it. As for the times we come together, I think it is very important to celebrate those events so we can bring one and other together and have fun and celebrate it as a group.

__pages 45 – 62__ **(due Friday 5/9 for Coconuts, Monday 5/12 for Pineapples)** Acts of kindness Some of the prisoners gave the new Jewish prisoners extra rations, and one of the Poland prison leaders was very nice to all of the Jews and did not abuse them. AND Acts of brutality The Jewish people abused mentally and physically all of the Jews and they did not care how the felt, they also killed lots of them.

My Reaction- I think that it was nice if of the Poland prison leader to be kind towards the Jews, but also very bad that most of them abused and killed a lot of them.

__pages 63 – 80__ **(due Wednesday 5/14)** They were controlling all of the Jews, because they had the guns, they had the soldiers and they had the grounds. They could beat any Jew that stepped out of line because of their weekness, they had the numbers in soldiers and the ground was thiers because they knew where to go and what to do. AND They had a holiday that they kept in secret, so that they couldn't do anything for them to stop the holiday from happening, also there is a resistance.

My Reaction: I think that the Germans have no right killing and beating Jews because it is their belief and they should be able to choose, as of the Resistance, I think it was finally time for the Jews to stand up for themselves.

Powerful Quotations-

"When they withdrew next to me were two corpses, side by side, father and the son. I was fifteen years old."

"This is the last picture I have of him. I do not think it can have been the SS who finished him, because no one noticed. He must have been trampeled by the feet of the thousands of men that ran by."

"Don't let yourself be overcome by sleep, Eliezer. It's dangerous to fall asleep in the snow. You might fall asleep forever."

How would you like it if you're 5 year old kid was murdered because of his/her inability to work? That's what happened during the Holocaust in World War II. Children usually between the age of 0-17 were usually killed because they could not work in the concentration camps. The Germans would even throw babies into crematories, and shoot and kill random children. Their bodies wouldn't even be buried, they would simply burn them into little parts of ash. Children were ripped away from their parents like a orange getting ripped away from the rest of the pieces, then eaten, or in the childs case, shot. Nothing has ever met up to the cruelness and deaths that the Germans laid on the Jewish folk. Today people in Africa villages are killed every day by hunger or sometimes being shot because they are in the middle of war, but nothing matches up to what the Germans did to children during the Holocaust.=====
