Throughout the holocaust the Germans destroyed all the apartments and the buildings the jews' lived in. They Jews' had nowhere to live and barely anything to eat. the Germans do this so they will succeed in what they are trying to do. And what they are trying to do is take over everything and anything they can.

What are the signs of trouble? Pg.14. Hungarian police had entered the ghetto and were shouting in the neighboring streets: “ All jews outside! Hurry!” Some jewish police whent into the houses, saying in broken voices: “ The time’s come now...you’ve got to leave all this...” The Hungarian police struck out with truncheons and rifle butts, to right and left, without reasons, indiscriminately, their blows falling upon old men and women, children and invalids alike. Pg.14-15. They went by, fallen, draging their packs, dragging their lives, deserting their homes, the year of their childhood, cringing like beaten dogs.

How do the Jews of Sighet react? ..One by one the passed infront of me, teachers, friends, others, all those I had been afraid of, all those I once could have laughed at, all those I had lived with over the years.

How do i feel? (first ?) I think that its really bad that the police invaded the neighborhood and invaded everyones homes and kicked them out they told them they had to leave everything and get out onto the streets and along with that they were beating old men and woman and even kids.

How do I feel (second ?) I think it’s sad to see everyone you know like teachers, friends, and even family to be seperated from you and beaten. I think it would be sad to have to let everything you have go.

=And I think it is pretty darn amazing that you are reading this book, doing your written work and participating in class! Keep it up, my friend. You are off to a great start! Ms. N.=
