Holocaust book blog: The Devil's Arithmetic By: Jane Yolen

                        The book I'm reading for my lit class is called the Devil's Arithmetic. The author is Jane Yolen. This book is about a Jewish girl Hannah and her family. How they celebrate Jewish holiday's and basically it's like her diary. In most parts of the book it is told by the narrater so third person. Hannah as you know now is a Jew. So her holiday's are a lot different from our. One of the most things they do on their holiday's is remembering. No, not what they ate the day before but what happened in the Holocaust. This certain holiday that they are talking about right now in the book is called Passover. Passover falls on Easter this time. They have this thing called the first night's Seder. A seder is basically a big feast. But before you eat you have to say a prayer. It can be in Yiddish. Yiddish is a language. I am currently reading this book so I cannot say the whole thing.
