In the story, Paper Hearts it tells a true story about a group of girls who are jewish and are forced to work. They end up getting rescued and I agree so much of how it ended. In the Paper Hearts book, the girls who work there, wear striped uniforms and have written numbers branded on their skin. The conflict was that these two girls, Fania and Zlatka were trying to survive without their loved ones. Zlatka and her parents were split up when they were selecting. Mama and Tata were selected to go on the left, which is for the old and sick. Zlatka and her little sister, Necha were selected to go on the right, healthy and young. Fania was hiding with her family, she went out to find her father but then was captured by soldiers. They transported all the healthy and young to a camp so they could do hard labor. On Fania’s birthday, Zlatka made a heart for her. It was made of part of Zlatka’s purple blouse and string from Zlatka’s striped uniform. Zlatka stitched an “F” for Fania in the …show more content…
heart and gave it to Fania. Zlatka also made a paper heart that had birthday wishes written on them from other girls in the camp for Fania. The hearts made Fania strong and brave. It made her feel like good things could happen soon. After years and years of labor, the russian soldiers came to help all the prisoners. The main conflict in the book is that these group of girls are struggling to survive these long years of labor.
It’s first introduced when Zlatka is looking on the wall to see if her name was on there. If it was, she’d be sent off to labor. After days passed, their family was on that list. Her Mama and Tata were sent to the left, Necha and Zlatka to the right. When Fania was introduced, she was getting captured by soldiers for being out in the open, trying to find her dad. The three of them went to work and were shipped away from their families. The conflict was then solved when russian soldiers came and saved all of the prisoners and set them free. They took the prisoners and let them roam in this village. Everyone was surprised to see jewish people wandering around. Everyone hated the jewish people and always called them “Jews!” One lady took in Fania and let her stay with her for a while. She didn’t give Fania a whole lot of food, but she still gave her
warmth. In the end, I loved how it was solved. I would have liked it if the ending showed a little bit more to it than the story did. One thing I didn’t like was the fact that Necha died. She should have been able to live. I know it’s a true story and we probably don’t know a whole lot about how their actual experience was, but you could add some details to the end. It would be cool if Zlatka and Fania were rescued, then being able to get the proper care for them from all the labor they had to do, feed them great portions, and give them homes. I would love if it explained how the journey felt when they were finally safe. I’m extremely happy that the girls were able to be safe now. I really loved it, I am upset that they had to do the labor because of the religion they were in...

A large number of Jews are forced into a train car. The ride is very cramped and uncomfortable. A woman called Madame Shächter starts shouting about a fire that she can see every night. Her little boy clings to her and cries. Eventually the Jews tie her, gag her, and even hit her. They finally make it to Auschwitz at what seemed to be midnight, and see the flames Madame Shächter was yelling about. A tall crematory spewing flames and smoke loomed over them.
Many question why so few Jews survived while so many people tried to save them. My hypothesis is that the limited amount of food and money made hiding the Jews to difficult and expensive for the non-Jews, giving them virtually no choice but to let the Jews be deported.
