Can't We All Just Get Along?

Can’t We All Just Get along

In my book yellow star. I really like the lay out of the book. How the Author included the dates and what was happening on each day, just like little Martha did when she was actually writing her diary.

In my book Yellow Star, There is a war going on, and Martha one of the little Jewish girls who lives in the ghetto and the really sad thing about that was every Sunday outside the Jewish house they would have food and if you didn’t get there in time they wouldn’t care and would not give you food. And see now if you were to walk in to a Grocery store, now a days the works would now say “no you can’t eat here”. that is not nice, They are just like everyone else but different religion. During the book, the soldiers go up to every door and say give us your children! Martha and her family were all hiding in a closet. The solider then broke down the doors and came in and saying where are you? We are here to get your kids. They then found the family and took Martha’s older sister. Martha’s dad then stopped them and got his daughter back. When I read that part of the book it was very precious, because if you think about it her dad just saved her life. At the end of the book Martha gets killed along with the rest of her family by the soldiers.

I learned that back then if you were Jewish you would have to have a yellow star on your jacket. I don't think that is fair just because of your religion. All of the Jewish people need to hide for the German soldiers otherwise if they found you, they would take you away and make you a slave.
