...The Devil's Arithmetic has changed the way I foresee the Holocaust. The word remember has a new meaning. Remembering is not letting something bad happen over again. Remembering is letting your family culture pass on. Remembering is passing it on. Analyzing and contradicting the book The Devil’s Arithmetic to the movie The Devil’s Arithmetic by the characters, theme, and plot can be problematic. The Devil’s Arithmetic is about an adolescence named Hannah Stern, who starts out not caring about her Jewish culture.

...Holocaust The Devil’s Arithmetic is a captivating story about a 13-year-old girl named Hannah who lives in present day America. Hannah is very neglectful of her Jewish heritage and its customs. During Seder feast she is asked to “open the door” for the prophet Elijah. She finds herself transported back in time to 1942. After being shanghaied and taken to the Nazi concentration camp, she has to use what she knows about the future to survive the horror, which is the Holocaust. I find that The Devil’s Arithmetic and the novel Night both illustrate the struggles and hard reality that occurred inside the camps. Holocaust means “burnt whole”. In this word, it symbolizes that Hitler had the idea to wipe out a whole race and by doing so he had to make the concentration camps and the crematories. Concentration camps were a place where Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and others persecuted in the Holocaust were sent to work or to be murdered by the hundreds. In concentration camps prisoners were humiliated, starved, beaten, forced to work and murdered in ways practically unimaginable. Some ways prisoners were killed were gas chambers, crematories, mass shootings, hung or starved to death. In the novel Night, the author Elie Wiesel witnesses a hanging of prisoners who tried to escape. In the Devil’s Arithmetic the same thing occurred and I noticed how both characters talked about the horror and fear on other’s faces. In the novel Night the French girl who helps out Elie is said to have dreamy...
