I did something and am not sure if it was the right idea, so I want your advice. I am a young girl living in a major city in a Nazi-occupied country. I am afraid that I have endangered my family, and the fact that I am jewish does not help. I am worried that my family members will be taken away because of me.

I am worried about an idea I shared. My father is a doctor and was confused on what to do as  he has to treat the nazis and does not want to, he is sworn to heal people. I gave him the idea to treat them but at the same time keep them off the field by giving them non-lethal illnesses. If he gets caught he could be sent away and then they may send me and the rest of my family away too. I feel scared and worried that this idea may hurt my family and then to have all of the weight on me.

You seem to know how to help people, I don’t know if i did the right thing and I want your opinion of what to do.
Sincerely,
Danish Damsel

Answer the questions in point form on this sheet. 

  1. Give four reasons why Lisa’s fourteenth birthday is so memorable? (4)

1 she got an adopted sister2 her best friend’s parents died3 her best friend moved into her house4 she had a great dance





  1. When Lisa tells Stefan and Erik about the hospital massacre, how does Erik react? Why does his reaction make Stefan so mad? (3)

Erik reacts and his face gets flushed and then he mumbles “It’s horrible” and Stefan gets mad because he thinks it is false sympathy, then tries to attack Erik.







  1. What “surprise” is waiting at home for Lisa and Stefan when they get back from Lisa’s birthday celebration? (1)

Baby Sarah is moving into her house.






  1. What happens to Susanne in chapter seven? (2)

Her parents die and she gets severe burns.







  1. In chapter eight, what was Susanne’s motivation for helping with the resistance bombing? (1)

She was angry at the Germans for blowing up her parents.





  1. After they set the factory bomb, Lisa says the following:
“A chill runs down my spine. My God, I think, these Germans are dragging us all down to their level. How will we keep ourselves better than them?” (p. 46)
In your own words tell what does Lisa mean by this and what is she concerned about? (4)
I think that Lisa means that the Germans are getting them angry enough to kill and do the same horrible things to the Germans that the Germans are doing to them. Killing others is not right, even though they may have killed someone else (like in the resistance’s case) it is not right to kill them. I think that if someone killed, the just thing to do would be to give them a long jail sentence (although the resistance can’t put the Germans in jail), though not for life. I would be concerned for myself if I was killing anyone, no matter what they did or who they are, because taking a life would rest on my shoulders for the rest of eternity.

Below you will find quotations from the novel Lisa’s War. For each quotation, you need to
explain what the context is and why it is significant to the story. (20)
A) “I remember I was dreaming about a bee. A giant bumblebee. It was buzzing in my
ear; it was going to sting me. I opened my eyes and sat up with a start, but the
buzzing didn’t stop.” (p. 1)

I think that this quote is a startling start to the book as after she woke up she heard the buzzing
of the nazi planes and was confused as they worked thier way into her dream as a giant bee so
when she woke up she could still hear them. This shows the sudden invasion at the start of the
book and how drastic of a change the invasion was.

B) “I leap off, dragging my bag, run into the grass and trees beside the stop, and finish
throwing up. Then I sink down by my sack. I’m weak, I’m shaking. I think I’m
crying, and my mouth tastes terrible. I want to go home. How did I get myself into
this? I think back to the streetcar. All those people – they saved me. Maybe they
saved my life.” (p. 29)

This quote is significant to the story as this is the point that Lisa realises the amount of danger
working for the resistance is and how all of these little things could get her imprisoned or
killed. This portrays her having regrets about joining the resistance and considering how
dangerous this really was.

C) “She whispers to me, ‘That was for Mama and Papa. But it was only the first.’ She’s
actually enjoying herself.
A chill runs down my spine. My God, I think, these Germans are dragging us all
down to their level. How will we keep ourselves better than them?” (p.46)

This quote shows how terrifying and nasty the Nazi’s were, and how carefull we have to be
because we could become the same thing. If Susanne was enjoying killing people that shows
the amount of pain and suffering the Nazi’s inflicted opon her and how unhuman they are.

D) “ ‘No, Father, it can’t be!’ I cry. I’m not willing to accept what he’s getting at. What
does it matter that we are Jewish? I don’t feel any different than anyone else, and I’m
not treated differently. Now will I have to be only a Jew? Is being a Jew all that’s
important about me? The very name Eichmann makes me feel sick to my stomach.”
(p. 57)

This Quote is significant because it shows how even a small part of their life could make a big
difference and how even though they are barely different from everyone else they become
endangered. This also explains how one part of you does not define all of you, with the
example of a hockey player they could be great at sports but also math. One part of a person is
not the whole of the person.]]> 2022-06-07 16:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emmettkent/f46zl1gu2eys0wze/wish/2213861914 Chapter XII emmettkent https://padlet.com/emmettkent/f46zl1gu2eys0wze/wish/2213862365 Prediction:
