Group Members: Samantha Daub, Cody King, Taylor Egts, Caprial Conner, and Christian Hall
Summary:
Hannah Stern is a Jewish girl and is the main character. She is tired of her relative’s telling her stories and is tired of her religion. She is tired of remembering. When Hannah opened the door for the prophet Elijah, she is transported back in time to Poland 1942. At that time and place, the people believe she is Chaya Abramowitz, who is recovering from Cholera, the fever killed Chayay’s parents a few months ago. At her uncles wedding, the Nazis come to transport the entire population of the village to a concentration camp near Donavin, and only Hannah knows all the terrors that they will face: Starvation, mistreatment, forced labors, and execution.
