Who can tell me about the Devil's Arithmatic?

Answer 1

Hannah resents the traditions of her Jewish heritage until time travel places her in the middle of a small Jewish village in Nazi-occupied Poland.
The real difference between this and most stories about the Holocaust, is this girl is of a modern time.
she goes back in time to WWII and is put into a concentration camp and witnesses first hand people young and old being killed and dying. She gains a whole new respect for her religion, Judaism!

Thirteen-year old Hannah detests attending her family Seder. All the talk about remembering the Holocaust bores her until she finds herself transported to a Polish shtetl in 1942. There, she joins the inhabitants as they're taken to a concentration camp.

Answer 2

Hannah resents the traditions of her Jewish heritage until time travel places her in the middle of a small Jewish village in Nazi-occupied Poland.
When Hannah opens the door during Passover Seder to symbolically welcome the prophet Elijah, she suddenly finds herself in the unfamiliar world of a Polish village in the 1940s. Hannah had always complained about listening to her relatives tell the same stories of the Holocaust over and over, but not she finds herself in a terrifying situation. The Nazi soldiers have come to take the village away, and only Hannah can guess where they are going.

She has the opportunity to see a vision of the horrendous acts experienced by her relatives and come to an understanding of the value of those memories.

Answer 3

I've read this book. It's about a jewish girl named Hannah who had a dream that she went back in time to the Holocost. It's all about the torture and what happened to the jewish people during this time. A related book is Number The Stars. Another book about the holocost except this time the girl is actually in the time with her jewish friend Ellen. A very fascinating book.
