1. Hearing David Faber speak was incredible. When you read the book it does sound depressing and sad, but when you hear David Faber tell you the story him self you can see the passion he had. I thought that he had one of the most hardest experience ever. I think that he got people thinking about how lucky we all are for having such a safe and free life. I really thought about his experience and, all it did to change his life. His story really made people think about how appreciative they should be for the life they have right now.

2. David was taken away by the Russian Partisans because they thought that he was a German spy. When David helped the Russian Partisans move the train tracks so they could get the trains that were filled up with ammunition, so they would collapse with the Nazi's and blow up. I really thought that this part, was really interesting I don't think that I would of thought of that at that moment. Romek I thought was proud of David because the idea of doing that was surprising and courageous.

3. David was let go because a man in the room thought that David was to young and couldn't possibly be involved in something like his brother was involved in. So I think that is why they let David go, they thought he really didn't know where or what the "Blue Files" were. That is why let him and not his brother go.

1. I really liked that part of the book. I thought that everyone got really lucky. The significance of Davids pet pigeon, is that it can sense danger from far away. David's mother was right about the pigeon, I really do think that there was something special about the pigeon, I think that it was more than just a pet. I was really glad that they all did what she said told them to, even though it was just so they can make his mom feel alot safer.

2. I'm not really sure I think that it was just, because they wanted the jews to think that nothing was going to happen to them. I think that maybe it was just to get people to not feel that they were going to get killed. It maybe was there just to confuse them. I can see why they call it vacation camp, maybe it was just because it was alot better than the other camps.

1. I can see that these were VERY difficult times for David. Reading this really gives me a better understanding of what David went through. I think that it's important to read, and know about this because it's had to do with alot of concepts like WWII and how people gave their life for the freedom of the world. I think that this one subject contains many things that, why I'm interested to learn about it. I've learned a little bit about World War II and I think that's its something I want to learn more about.

2. I think that David's family is really close and, they all care for each other alot. I think that by the fact that David went out looking for his father showed alot of courage. David's mom shows that she cares alot about her family, but it also knows very well that anything can happen at this point.

b) I think that sense alot of the action and detail happens in the middle of the book its harder to remember. I also think it's because, David would have to remember the beginning, alot better so we could understand the rest of the book. Maybe it's because his some of his family member died in the book, he would want to remember when they were together.

3. I think that when David went to go look for his father, showed that he brave and determined to know that he is save. David showed alot of characteristics in this part of the book, he showed that no matter what was going on, he needed to find out his whole family was save. David saw someones family die in front of him but his mind was only on his father. David succeeded, and got helped his father escape, and that part of the book showed alot about David.
