Life in the Ghetto of Warsaw

~We are really really really enjoying Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli.  Our story started out lighthearted and funny, but it has really taken a turn for the worse.  Misha has met Janina and has made her his sister.  Uri is still looking out for the boys, Kuba, Enos, Ferdi, Henryk, Gray Jon, Misham and One Arm Olek....but he did not join them when they were forced into the ghetto.  We met Uncle Shepsel.....he is a hoot!  We also met Janusz Korczak.... a real life hero of the Holocaust.  Janina's mother seems to be giving up and Misha seems to be the glue that is keeping them together...and alive.  Will Misha and Janina get out?  Will they survive?  Stay tuned!
 another great book about Jaunusz Korczak
