Flag Raising and Misha

~Today we had our January Flag Raising. This month's character trait is COURAGE. Having courage means you do not go with the crowd. You do what your inner voice tells you is right! We are learning how few people had the courage to do what was right during the Holocaust.
~New Puzzle below!

~Today Misha discovered a bit of what living in the ghetto REALLY means. He is seeing those around him starving, and dying of typhus while still being dehumanized daily by the Nazis and the Flops. Misha escapes the ghetto in search of food! Will he come back? Who will be his family if he leaves? Will Mrs. Milgrom find hope? Will Uncle Schepsel become even more desperate? Find out tomorrow!

This is an actual photo taken in the Warsaw ghetto of a child dying on the sidewalk. This is very much like the scene that Misha saw on the sidewalk while walking with Uri today.

These are the undertakers that Misha saw.
