![]() She has to hide in a cemetery to escape the Nazis who want to take all the children to concentration camps. Syvia's dad is extremely smart, and carries out risky plans to make sure that many people survive. My favourite part of the book is the end, where— ![]() all the survivors of the Lodz ghetto (this was towards the very end of the war) see a plane coming towards them, going to bomb them. They lay face down, with the yellow stars glinting in the sun, and that's when the plane lands beside, and a Russian walks out, and says that they recognized the yellow stars, and so did not shoot. I feel that the Nazis' plan to show their hate towards the Jews (by making them wear yellow stars) backfires. And that's why I like the end. I also like it because it's written very beautifully.
