Didn't they know bits and pieces of the story in Poland? I think that they should've known so parts to the storied because I don't think the Poland was so backwards at the time.]]> 2017-02-03 17:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/151504017 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/152535353 Reading Reaction: How was everyone so calm when they saw the Nazi's hovering over their homes? Especially since their Jews, wouldn't they be petrified?? If I were Jew, I would be so scared.  ]]> 2017-02-08 17:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/152535353 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/152536166 Reading Reaction: If Chayaleh was telling me that we have to run away because they were going to kill us, I would believe her and run away. Not face the Nazis. ]]> 2017-02-08 17:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/152536166 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/152539930 Reading Reaction: Chayaleh seemed so still during the duration of her shipment to the Nazi camp. I would be screaming and crying because I know what is going to happen to me and my family. :(]]> 2017-02-08 17:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/152539930 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/156082398 Reading Reaction: I found it a bit strange that Chayaleh just forgot some memories from the "future". How do you do that? ]]> 2017-02-24 17:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/156082398 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/156083063 Reading Reaction: Why would a prisoner that wasn't a Jew, treat Chaya and her family like that? Shouldn't they be focused on helping each other survive?]]> 2017-02-24 17:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/156083063 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/156277249 Reading Reaction: I was feeling really sad when the tattoo artist recognized the dress Chaya was wearing as his own daughter's dress. ]]> 2017-02-26 21:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/156277249 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/157675613 Reading Reaction: I was as surprised because Rivka, being only 10 years old, knew everything about the camp. She knew more than adults!]]> 2017-03-03 17:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/157675613 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/157676018 Reading Reactions: There were many words mentioned.

Chaya is her Jewish name and Hannah is her American name. I would describe Chaya as stubborn, I say that because she never does anything right away if she doesn't agree with it.]]> 2017-03-06 17:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/158097573 22rkulkarni https://padlet.com/22rkulkarni/mym1vihyf11e/wish/158099032 Some secondary characters are Rivka, Gitl and Shifre.
