Now he is a lonely old man who is sometimes impossible to live with. Although, some might say he is a bother, he really just wants his son to be with him.  ]]> 2017-05-22 15:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173179490 oliviaroseautrey https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173180587 Mala is Vladeks second wife. They met long before the war, and after Anja died they got married. However, they are constantly fighting. She wants to use money to fix the little things, while Vladek wants to do it all himself, but since he is a sick old man it doesn't really work that way. Mala does eventually leave Vladek because she feels trapped by his sickness, that she can't leave him because of it. In the end she does come back though. ]]> 2017-05-22 15:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173180587 oliviaroseautrey https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173181122 There isn't too much to say about young Richieu. He died at the age of three. His aunt was in charge of watching him during the war. When she believed the gestapo was coming for them she killed all of the children and herself because she thought it would be a better ending than what they would get. ]]> 2017-05-22 15:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173181122 oliviaroseautrey https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173181755 Pavel is Art's therapist. He survived the Holocaust, and now likes to help people as his own way of coping with the war. Pavel listens to Art the way Vladek doesn't, but he also tries to get Art to see how Vladek might be feeling, and why he acts the way he does. ]]> 2017-05-22 15:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173181755 oliviaroseautrey https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173182285 Francoise is Art's wife. She was not raised as a Jew, but became one for Art. She didn't grow up around Holocaust survivors like all the other characters in the story, but she is very understanding of what happened and how they need to cope. She supports Art, but also makes him think why he does what he does. This helps Art to realize what he should be doing instead of what he wants to do sometimes. ]]> 2017-05-22 15:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173182285 oliviaroseautrey https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173182921 Lucia is introduced early on in the story. She allows us to get to know the young Vladek. We see him as a young desirable man, instead of a lonely sick old man.

He helped Jews get work papers, so they would be safer in the towns. With these papers Vladek is able to proved for his family for just a bit longer, and this possibly saved their lives. ]]> 2017-05-22 15:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviaroseautrey/s97fx9i3y0bu/wish/173183565
