Blog 1: Part I Reflection

Part I of Ruth Minsky Sender's The Cage explores the experiences Riva and her siblings have while living in the ghetto. Part II of the personal memoir will unveil her horrors in the camps.

What portion of Part I stood out to you in your reading? Provide a page number and short analysis of the excerpt.

What stood out for me was the beginning of chapter 18. On page 102, it says what goes on in a day in the ghetto. They talk to each other about news that is going on, and about what they can do to help their friends. They hide frequently, just in case one of their names is on the list. They pray and hope everyday for this terrible war to end. They hide many people while the Jewish police search their house.
