Alfons was inducted into the Hitler Youth on April 20, 1938. This was Hitlers birthday, so this day came with great worship throughout the country of Germany. Alfons was sworn into the Jungvolk, the junior branch of the Hitler Youth group at 10 years old. He raised three fingers on his right hand and placed his allegiance to the group.
What I wonder: I wonder if Alfons will maintain his loyalty to the Hitler Youth? As he gets older will he see how terrible Hitlers ideas are and turn against him? I also wonder if everyone young child boy and girl was extremely excited to join the Youth group.
How the Passage Stands Out: This passage stands out because it has strong significance to Alfons story. It brings in to view how being sworn into The Hitler Youth worked and how honored one child was to join.
Why is it Significant: This is significant because it provides information on the Hitler Youth which is a main focus of the Holocaust.

This was after Helen had left Germany and married Siegfried. Helen did not plan on seeing the fortune teller however she ended up because the fortune teller had started talking to her because the woman began speaking to her right away. Helen was flabbergasted by what the fortune teller had told her, however it came out to be true.
Why It Stands Out: This passage stands out because it explains how terrified the Jews where that they would go to fortune telling, which many didn’t believe was true. It explains how Helen was not expecting to have the fortune teller guess her future, but she did and it ended up being true.
What I Wonder: I wonder what will happen if Helens future continues to be the way the fortune teller predicted? I also wonder if Helen will go back to see the fortune teller?
Why is It Significant: This is significant to the story because it helps explain the struggles of knowing what was ahead for the Jews. This passage also explains how Helen struggles in her world to know what to do and what is coming ahead which creates suspense in the story. This passage creates suspense by making the reader wonder if Helens predictions will come true, making this passage significant.

This passage talks about how Helen is wondering if she made the wrong decision about giving up Doris. She worries that Doris is unsafe with her new family because her neighbor told her families should stick together during the war. These many different perspectives make the passage interesting, and creates suspense.
Why it Stands Out: This passage stands out because it deals with the hardship Helen and others Jews had to face during the War. The people during the Holocaust didn't know what the right decision was, and showing that through this passage makes it stand out.
What I Wonder: I wonder if Helen will continue to regret her decision to give up Doris and try to take her back? I wonder if Helen and Siegfried will end up surviving and finding Doris again? 
Why is it Significant: This passage is significant because during the Holocaust many Jewish families faced hardships similar to Helen. Many faced these hardships during the Holocaust, this passage shows how hard the decisions Helen had to make were.
