My reaction to the ending was surprised and happy because of how all the Jews got rescued. It explained very well of how they got rescued and everything that happened. What surprised me was that everyone in her family lived but her dad. It made me think of how are they going to live on without him and they will always have memories of the Holocaust and it will stay with them of all the stuff they did. It brought joy to me when they got rescued because they deserved to live and it must have been hard to live through all that tragic stuff that happened to them. The theme fear is in the book a lot because all the Jews were afraid of what was going to happen to them and if they will make it out alive. In the book elli was afraid of not seeing her brother and if her mother will make it out alive. Everyone showed fear in the novel because the Nazis were very strict about what the Jews did and all the Jews just wanted to be with there family and be free.
I have learned that almost everyone has lost a family member who was in the Holocaust and trying to survive was the hardest thing. I also learned that the Nazis treated the Jews very bad and there were many people starving and getting diseases because of the lack of nutritions.I have learned that many people don't know everything about the Holocaust and that people care about my opinions. This project is important to teenagers because its really fun to see people comment on stuff you write and some of those comments might tell you a fact that you never knew. Thank you contributors for commenting and complimenting me on my writing.
What had happened to the Dad? Were they really close to him? Going through the holocaust would have been a hard thing to go in with someone but come out with out them. It is a horrible thing to go through what they had gone though at that time. It is a great thing thought that they had gotten rescued from were they were. The holocaust had a so much in common with people being slaves and just wanting to kill them for no reason. Surviving through the holocaust must had been a hard thing to go through mostly with the thing that could have killed them in a slow way mostly with hungry a huge thing that had killed the Jewish in the holocaust. I like that these thing that were recovered during the holocaust can give us a view on what the felt like, how some of them survived through it this horrible time in history, also to teach us what to do to prevent these genocides from happening again.
