Separation

• No matter how hostile a German soldier was, or
  what impact the Holocaust had, a family is still
  a family.

• In the Holocaust, families were separated and
  sometimes never found each other.

• In our book, Elli, her brother, and her mom are
  separated from their father. Then later separated
  from her brother.

Identity

• This was done so that the Jews couldnt have an
  identity, and for pure humiliation.

• In Auschwitz, and almost every other
  concentration camp, heads were shaved, and
  clothes were taken away.

• In almost every concentration camp, the inmates
  were required to get numbers tattooed on their
  arms. It was their new identity.

Evacuation

• When the Nazis invaded Budapest, close to our
  characters home town, things soon started
  changing for them.

• At first, most Jews are sent to ghettos.

• Evacuation was quick, and Elli and her mom lost a
  lot of their personal possessions while moving
  from home to the ghetto.

Ghettos

• After Jews were forced to evacuate their homes,
  they were crammed into ghettos.

• Sometimes, twelve or more people were put into
  one room, or two small rooms.

• In our book, the Nagymagyar Ghetto had one public
  bathroom, kitchen, and shower.

Riot

• In our book, riots were caused whenever somebody
  didnt listen to an SS officer.

• A young girl got worked about about not finding
  her mother, and not having a bed, so the SS
  officer shot her.

• It may seem like not a big deal for one girl to
  get shot, but it effected most of the people, and
  sometimes they would kill a whole Block.

Starvation

• One of the main causes of death in the Holocaust
  was starvation.

• Elli and the rest of her block were given one
  small bowl of soup.

• Her and her mother were lucky to get even a
  spoonful of soup, because others would be so
  hungry.

Decimation

• Decimation is when SS officers take 10 people,
  line them up, and shoot them.

• Decimation took place because one person, or a
  whole block committed sabotage.

• For example, in our book it started to rain. All
  the Auschwitz inmates stood in the rain because
  they had been working so hard. The rain was their
  relief.

Immigration

• Like most Jews who survived, they found out the
  devastating aftermath of the Holocaust.

• After Elli and her mom endure all the
  unnecessary pain, they move back home. They find
  their home town in ruins.

• Once they knew that they were some of the only
  Jews in their family who survived, they
  immigrated to America.

Rising Action

• The first conflict they face is having to move
  from their homes to the Nagymagyar Ghetto. They
  face the challenges of everyday life in the
  ghetto with people they dont know.

• The greatest challenge they faced was moving
  from the ghetto to Auschwitz and enduring
  unnecessary pain.

Climax

• When the SS officers invade, everything turns
  for the worst. They are put on trains, and shot
  at.

• When Elli survives the shooting, we knew she was
  going to live through it all.

Falling Action

• Our falling action occurs when Elli, her mom,
  and her brother get back to their hometown.

• When they get home, they see the devastating
  results of the Nazi's, and receive a letter from
  their uncle. They also find about their father's
  death.

Resolution

The resolution in our book is that Elli, her
mother, and her brother make it out safely, are
reunited, and the immigrate to America.

A Life Lesson

• As you read this, remember that six million
  innocent people died, as everyone else stood by
  and watched. Even though you aren't a victim,
  don't be a bystander. Stand up for what is right,
  even if it means standing alone.
