1.  It was vary hard to listen to David Faber's speach.  It was vary intense and descriptive.  I had to leave during the speach because it was so sad.  This is partly because i am jewish and partly because i wasn't ready for it.  Overall i loved the speach and even though i had to leave i heard the whole speach and enjoyed it.  :)

2. I think that the part about the Partisans was mostly uplifting because most of the things in the book were negative.  I also thought that a lot of the things that David was doing was really cool.  It was really sad at the end when they were all burned especially the person that David loved like a father because he lost his real father and someone who was really close to him.  I think Romek was proud because David tipped over Nazi trains and helped stop them wich is pretty cool.  Since Romek is in the army there was a corelation between David stopping the Nazi's and Romek fighting against the Nazi's.  I also think he was proud because David made it back on his own and was being a man.

3. Since the Nazi's are so cruel they probably wanted David to go on knowing about his brother's death.  They also probably hurt him a lot and wanted him to suffer both mentally and phisically.  I would not want to go on with a memory of my brother being killed let alone the way they killed Romek.
