1. I was really moved when I heard david Faber speak. I was moved because I was both shocked and amazed that he survived all those events. I even cried at moments, even though I had finsiheed the book it was still a big blow.
2. I think that david was proud of helping because he was helping the war. He was helping the war by destroying the train tracks. His relation with the partisians was a bit wierd because first of all they take him back to the camp not knowing if he wants to, second they make him work so yes its a wierd relation ship.
3. I think because he was to young. He could also regret taking away the life of this young man, maybe living david alone. He might have also believed that he didnt know anything

1. The most disturbing part of the book for me was when they tortured the brother into telling them where the blue file was. This was disturbing for me because i was shocked when they shoved the hot poker into his eye.

2. The job i believe was working in the kitchen helping with the coffee and the bread. He had some horrible experiences like watching the murder of his family.

3. At the camp he start to get really sick and weak, he gets typhus and get boils.

4. David is happy when he says " mama i did it, i survived".

5. David Faber's book, Because of Romek, should be required reading in all middle schools, high schools, and universities because all students need to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust. This book should be a must because everyone, young and old should learn n what happened during the holocaust. I support this statement because of what David Faber said, you don't know how lucky you are to be here, you didn't have to experience all that.
I also think students should have to read because its a great learning expierience and this isn't one of those fiction books, this person, David Faber, actually had to go through all those horrible experiences.

1. They pigeon was important because it saved David's family's life. It was also important because it was a companion to David. It was also a sign tat they were not alone.'

2. The conditions over all were awful overall and im surprised they call it a vaction camp. They might call it a vacation camp because this was your final detenation. Also they might call it that to make them believe things are getting better.

3. Where there times where you wish you could go back and change the outcomes?
What is the worst memory during your time in the camps?

Romek

1. Some of the things that I found interesting were that during WWII many countries participated even if it was a little. I also find interesting that Hitler had to single out the jews of all the people there. I remember he did this because he wantewd power.

2. a- I think that david family isn't that diffent from other families. I mean they have a good relation ship between one and another. Also sonia is a bit of a crybaby and david trys to prove himself.
b- I think he remembers all o this because of all the horribe pain he went through. I also think he remembers it because he wants to show how horrible his life was then.
3. -

• He's brave.
• He's caring
• he knows whats right.

1. So far I still believe guns are bad. YEs they have killed people but the only reason I believe people should use guns is for personal defense. They should also be kept out of the reach of children.

2. Also I can understand why this people have wanted to get revenge. I have also been victim of cruel comments and jokes. The only diffrences is that I would never dream of killing another human life.

3. Were you pleased with the end?

group reading

1. Well first of all i would like to say that its reallt messed up how the coach seperates the good players from the bad ones. For example he puts the good people in the "winning team" and how he puts people like gary or brendon in the "losing" team. Also this is what I consider one of the reasons they want payback on all the people.

2. Another thing is that the people always beieng tortured are the nones that always keep it inside. This is what makes them go to such limits as to kill other people to distress themselves. I can relate to this because I used to get teased.

3. If you someone being bullied would you take charge or be a bystander?
