Please answer each of the following questions about the book you read. You may number your responses or answer them in paragraph form. Provide your answers on the page linked to your book title.

1. From whose perspective is the story told? (A Jew? A Nazi? A survivor? A Righteous Gentile? A Descendant of a survivor?) What are the benefits of getting the story from this perspective? A Jewish mother who was taken away from her family and held in Auschwitz where she served as a nurse to help wounded Nazi's. The benefits were that the actual feelings and thoughts were clearly explained from the actuals persons perspective.

2. What life lesson did you learn from the plot of this story? I learned that even though someting was done to you that was wrong, does not mean that you should give up on life or helping others. In this story Luba was torn away from her son. Instead of casting the children she found away she accepted them as her own and helped others to realize the children needed help.

3. What did you like most about this book? The artwork was beautiful. I loved how some parts were blurred but the facial expressions on the people were very clear. It made me sort of feel the emotions of the people in the book.

4. How does this text relate, if at all, to //Parallel Journeys//? It definately coencided with the stories of Parallel Journeys. It just showed us a little more about being in a concentration camp.

5. How could you use this book to teach the Holocaust? I think I would use this book for younger children. It gives just enough information for young children for them to understand the severity of what teh Holocost entailed.

6. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Yes. My boss at work actually read it today and she said it was very easy and clear to read and that it was a very touching story.
