I am so lucky to have an amazing job at the best high school in the world with the most wonderful students (MOST of the time). Here I will share my musings, reflect on literature, and showcase cool assignments.
We were honored to have Sonja DuBois, Holocaust survivor, hidden child, spend the day with us on Thursday, April 3. Her story was compelling and moving and we so enjoyed getting to know her. She is pictured here with her husband, Ron.
Survivor of Sobibor
Pictured here are some of my students with Mr. Phillip Bialowitz, one of the ten living survivors of the Nazi extermination camp Sobibor. His son, Joe Bialowitz, is in the picture as well. It was an honor to hear Mr. Bialowitz speak.
The only book in our selections that is fiction, this book reads almost like a detective story. Please use this post for your discussion over this novel.

Ok so far ive found the book an easy read, my only real problem is the main character's senselessness is getting rather annoying and repetitive. Other than that its a fairly interesting book.
Well wish you'd have made that comment way earlier cause theres no way i can respond this late in the game. so ill just go on and say what i plan to.
yeah i noticed Uri was acting odd since relocating into the ghetto but i never would have suspected him to have joined the nazis. janina was rather stupid near the end of the book and kinda figured she'd get caught, despite the warnings she got she still ran towards the train.

I love how Misha never tells anyone about Janina
To me it displays some of that childishness that was so prevailant all through the book
