1- What does learning about the life of the main character in your book teach you about how you want to live your own life?
Learning about Rauch’s story and his journey through the holocaust being a German soldier with Jewish blood taught me that just because we have certain differences doesn’t mean we aren’t equal to each other. Throughout the book, Rauch meets many different people of many different beliefs and backgrounds. Most of the people he met did not know he was Jewish but still talked and treated him like normal. Showing that just because someone is different doesn’t mean they are deserving of bad treatment or should be treated differently. “She would be rushing to catch the next bus back to Vienna, for after all, the Jews hidden in the attic had to be fed and cared for, and life must go on.” Pg. 19. This shows that his family is disobeying the law yet he is still going to be sent off as a Jewish german army soldier.
2- How do the choices people made during the rise of the Nazi Party and the Holocaust teach us about the power and impact of our choices today?
