Week 3 Wednesday

In review for Devil's Arithmetic I have been reviewing and rereading the book. Again, Hannah has gone back in time. Meeting Gitl and Shmuel, who is about to get married, she blames this "dream" on the red wine she drank. While traveling to the church for Shmuel and Fayge's wedding, they meet with Nazis in front of the church. They load them up and bring them to a Concentration Camp.

Week 3 Tuesday

I am reading the book Jesus Freaks. I am re-reading this book for my reaseach paper. It is on Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was a German Christian that was persecuted for harboring Jews. He is very interesting so I am glad to be doing my report on him.

Week 3 Monday

I have finished the book, the Devil's Arithmetic. It was great! I loved the ending. It's nice to know that Hannah saved her aunt and grandfather. There is no telling where they would be now. This book helped me realize the importance of the Holocaust and the Santanic (vocab word) deeds they preformed on innocent Jews. It make me feel horrible for the inhumane things Hitler did to others. The thing is, it was people that did this. I believe Hitler was possessed by the devil himself, but he was an instrument in this genocidal campaign to destroy the Jewish race. Leading these Jews into concentration camps and destroying millions of them. This book has honestly opened my eyes to the horrible thing that mankind will preform against each other. All together the struggle is between God and the devil, but we all know who will this struggle. The sad thing is, the devil is gonna take everyone he can with him to the Lake of Fire. That is why it is our jobs as humans and Christians to help each other and most certainly not preform the same inhumane stunts Hitler himself tried to pull.

Week 2 Thursday

In class we are reading the Devil's Arithmetic. Hannah and Gitl have been sent to the showers at the Concentration Camp. Ordered to strip down, Hannah feared the showers. Thinking they would be scorched by acid, Hannah rejoiced when it was just cold water. After their showers they put on rags for clothes and were tatooed their new "name" on their arm. Hannah's new "name" is, J197241.

Week 2 Tuesday

We are reading the Devil's Arithmetic in class. Hannah and the other Jews have been taken to the Concentration Camps. Hannah knows what is going on, but the Jews do not. The Nazis tricked them into going with them, saying they were moving them to a safer place. I am really enjoying this book.
