When the wedding was happening there were some Nazis their so they later hid in a wagon. Then later got captured and put in a cargo with a bunch of people it was terrible in the cargo. Then they were put into a concentration camp, Where they put numbers on them. Hanna is now number J197241later she meets Rivka and starts to make a plan to escape. He tells her information about the camp and how you know if someone is a Jew or not by the number it starts off with a letter. Know they are making plans to escape the camp.

Well for this book The Devils Arithmetic I would say that the genre is Historical Fiction. I say this because it takes part in the Holocaust, and because she goes back in time to the Holocaust. The part of the book that makes it historical is they talk about the cargo trains and and the concentration camps and them putting a number on their arms. The fiction part of the book is when she gets dizzy then falls and she goes back into time and gets into the concentration camp.

The Devil's Arithmetic

So far in the beginning of the book she didn't want to go the Passover but she ends up going to the Passover. She sees the numbers on her grandpa's number on his arm and she copies it and he gets mad then starts to yell at her in Yiddish. Then she goes to the bedroom and feels dizzy, she wakes up in the past and meets many new people. Later Shmuel is getting married and he invited guest but they were Nazis and she told him that they kill and they killed 6 million of them. Later she starts to remember the things she learned in her class.

Aha Moment is one of the sigh post that I would say I see in this book because she goes back into the past. While she is in the past she also starts to remember the thing that she learned while she was in class. Also she remembered how many Jews were going to be killed and who were Nazis or not.

I think that people watched it happen and let it happen because the Nazi’s was the greatest army in the world at that time and they were scared to do anything cause if they resisted the Nazis they would kill them. I think that others were inspired because of what they saw that the Nazis were doing to the Jews. I probably would have been a bystanders because it would be very scary to go against a army and what they could do back then. But like what the up standers did was good for the Jews hide them in secret pretending to make them work but actually helping them.
