Quote on page 51

QUOTE "It was good to have a Jew as your leader. His name was Alphonse. A young man with a startlingly wizened face. He was totally devoted to defending "his" block. Whenever he could, he would "organize" a cauldron of soup for the young, for the weak, for all those who dreamed more of an extra portion of food than of liberty"(51).

REFLECTION: This quote is meaningful to me because it shows that the Jews still cared about eachother even if some were working for the Germans. It made me happy to see that there was this "sense of happiness" still inside of the Jews.
