The Devil's Arithmetic Blog #2

Summary: After the Nazi's came into the wedding Hannah and the group went to go hide in a wagon. But then the Nazi's found them, and captured them. They put them in a boxcar, cramped with a bunch of other people. They got out into a concentration camp, they had to go inside, naked. They sat down on a cold bench, and later got tattooed numbers on their arms. Hannah, now J197241 in the camp. After sometime, they finally try to escape the concentration camp. Making plans to finally escape. 

Conflict: This book as several conflicts in it. Man Vs. Society, The Jews are being captured by the Germans and getting put into these camps. The second conflict is Man Vs. Man, they have to face a lot of people in the camp. And the last is Man Vs. Self. Hannah is going through a lot of changes and is forgetting where she came from.

The Devil's Arithmetic (Blog)

Summary: Hannah was just a normal Girl living in present time. They were going to a Passover at Rosemary's house. She found a pen and wrote numbers on her arms just like her Grandpa's, but he got really mad and started yelling stuff in Yiddish. Then she goes in her room, she feels dizzy and lays down. Then she wakes up in the past. And meets a bunch of new people from the past, and she is in the past. And then they go to a wedding and they see a bunch of Nazi's, and Hanna's telling Shmuel about the Nazi's killing many people and he says that's no such thing. And the Nazi's come into the Wedding.

Signpost: A-ha Moment: When Hannah seen the Nazi's she remembers that later in time they kill 6 million Jews. And she warns the people she's with but they don't believe her at all. And continue on, saying there's no such things of that.

I think many people were bystanders because a lot of the people feared the Nazi's, many didn't want to get hurt or risk themselves or families. Many people just sat around and let things happen without doing anything. But, many other people did stand up for people or took resist of the Nazi's. I think it inspired others because they've had enough of the Nazi's, or said they didn't have anything to lose for and might as well help others. People like that saved families, Schindler even saved as much much of 11,000 people. I think I would have been a bystander, I wouldn't want to risk myself, or my family. And I think the rest of my family wouldn't do anything too risky either.
