The Devils Arithmetic Summary

Hannah and her family are now sent to the concentration camps. She keeps telling them what is going to happen next but nobody listen to her.  Hannah has to through some tuff times. The German's make the people work so hard that their arms almost fall of. They only feed them potato soup and cold hard bread.  Jews are dying faster than fly's. The Germans are burning them in the smokestack or killing them in the gas chamber. Every week the general come in the camp and chooses people whether they die or they stay alive. Hannah has to try to convince the Jews to fight back and not be bystanders. She has to tell them whats is going to happen next if they want to live. 




A connection that I made was that I went to a Holocaust museum and I saw how people where being treated at the concentration camp. I saw how they killed the Jews. It was a genocide. We had the chance to talk to a Holocaust surviver. She talked about how everybody had to wear a Jewish star and that her parents sent her and her sister to a another person that would take them. After the war the parents came back for her and lived a happy live.
