The Devil's Arithmetic (Summary and Note and Notice)

They story The Devil's Arithmetic is a story about a young girl named Hannah. In the beginning of the story where in the beginning she is going to her family's Passover Seder, which is a Jewish holiday. She wasn't that big on going to it because she never wanted to hear the old stories retold and retold again, until finally when she opens her mind to the stories and ideas and is taken back in tim to the year of 1942 under Nazi rule. She is then very frightened as she is taken out of her home village by Nazi soldiers and Hannah is trying to uncover the mystery of why she is one called Chaya. 

While I had been reading this book I had noticed a memory moment very early and quick in the book. This memory moment was the stories that her family had been telling her which took her back to the past and the horrible memories she can't even start to imagine. She is taken all the way back to the year 1942 by the prophet Elijah, and she is under the horrible rule of the nazi's. I think that this is important because it shows that the story has transferred from this story about  a fun time and celebrating holiday's with family into this deep dark scary story about real events that had happened and horrible things that the Jewish people had went through under the nazi control.
