 "'I don’t want to die, Papa,' I sob. 'I don’t want to die!' Papa holds me for another minute..." Page 72]]> 2018-05-09 01:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lilluddy1/rv6bjr4tcty3/wish/259127302 lilluddy1 https://padlet.com/lilluddy1/rv6bjr4tcty3/wish/259127999 Syvia learns that Hava is gone:
"Gone, vanished, disappeared. Where is she? What happened? Did someone take her? Is she still alive??? Why Hava??? The ghetto holds its secrets tightly and shrugs its shoulders when asked questions."

"A Happy Night What a treat! Itka and her parents are here for an evening visit. Itka and I play dress up. Even Dora is in a good mood. She wraps Mother’s scarf around her head and holds our hands as we dance in a circle. Around and around. Until one of my mother’s shoes flies off my foot and hits the wall. We three take off our shoes and dance some more in stockinged feet. Our parents drink weak coffee and talk in low voices. Itka and I are comparing our feet (mine are longer and skinnier). Then Itka’s parents say it’s time to leave."

"I grow taller and skinnier. Mother frets that I am all bones, but she is just as thin. There is little food, and a number of times we come close to starving. It is kind of like sleepwalking to live life in the ghetto. We are all weak, 96 and our brains are foggy."

"Papa stops digging and looks at me. 'Syvia,' he whispers, 'get in and lie down.' 'You will hide here tonight.' Lie down in the hole? Alone? I truly mean to obey my papa and do it because I always do what Papa says. I am a good girl. But I am in a cemetery in the dark, and all I can think of are scary things like dead people and Nazis, and instead of lying down in the hole, I scream..."

This shows the doll's value to her, and when she loses her doll she even creates more: This is also the idea of loneliness showing itself in this quote: 
"#2—'Dust Dolls' I make families out of balls of dust. There is always a mother and a father and lots of children. The smallest piece of dust is the baby. I gently blow to make the people move. I feel a little guilty at the end of this game, when I have to sweep them up." Page 92

Dora dressed up in a new outfit, twirling in the kitchen with excitement over entering the junior high. Dora had a lot of friends, girls and boys, and teachers liked her, too. 'Now I’m here,' Dora says,  'working in a factory, watching my baby sister. I wonder if anyone from my old school even notices that I am gone?' My sister looks down at her hands. Pick. Pick. ]]> 2018-05-09 01:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lilluddy1/rv6bjr4tcty3/wish/259131417 lilluddy1 https://padlet.com/lilluddy1/rv6bjr4tcty3/wish/259132234 " We know more than the Nazis do."
