Meaningful Quotations
These are the quotes that I think are very good and meaningful.


(pg. 7) “Aunt Rose thought everyone in the family was the MOST beautiful, THE smartest, THE greatest, even is it wasn’t true.”

I think that what Aunt Rose told everyone about being the most beautiful, or the smartest, or the greatest is totally awesome! If everyone would just talk like that, not putting others down, or using vial words, this would be a way better world to live in. That would make me happy from sun up ‘til sun down! I would always have a smile on my face.
(Pg. 87) “Behind her, Fayge tried to sidestep so as not to bump into her, stumbled, fell, and began to roll faster and faster downhill until she hit the bottom with a horrible thudding sound. Her white skirts were rucked up over her thighs. Shmuel ran after her, knelt by her side, and cradled her in his arms. Smoothing her skirts down, he whispered, “My bride, my bride.””

I think this is a really good example of how badly the Jews were treated. I think it’s really sad. One act of kindness toward someone else results in a total predicament, and painful mistake for yourself. Fayge was being kind to Chaya when she could have stepped in her face, or not cared. The Jews were not treated kindly at all!

(Pg. 95) “But promise me you will cry no more before these monsters. We will never cry again.”

I think it would take a lot of bravery and anger to do and say this. No one would want to show their weakness, especially not to their enemy. If it makes them feel better to not cry, them that is good because they’re fighting their part of the battle.
