Summary On Devils Arithmetic And Aha Moment

In my book a girl named Hannah lives with her jewish family. One day she had a special dinner with her whole family.  She drank some of the wine and she got drunk.  She walked to her room as she dazed off into a different world back into 1933-1945.  She faded into Germany back when the Holocaust was starting.  She just got captured by the germans and is on her way to what she thinks its a concentration camp. Her and her family were on the verge of getting married but they didn't because they were captured by the jews. They Just arrived at the train station.

In my book recently my main character Hanna has just had an Aha moment.  They were just captured and were sent to ride along in a truck with Nazis.  Then they stopped but when they stopped Hanna thought to her self "wait the trains!". I stopped and asked my self how might this change things? In my opinion this is going to change by all the characters from Hanna's family freaking out and causing chaos.  I think i just found the conflict to my story.

Holocaust Response

In my opinion I believe that people would stay quiet and keep there opinions to them selfs because they knew that if they were to try something to save a jew they would get killed immediately or sent to a concentration camp. No body had the nervous to stand up  for the Jew's because they knew that the Nazis had more power than them. Now there were cases were some germans did standup for the Jews and would hide them in there houses or farms because they did not like the fact that the germans tried extinguishing the jews away. I would have probably stayed quiet and wouldn't of done anything because in common sense the germans had lots of power, more than the jews or normal germans. For example, a german family of 7, hiding 3 or 4 jews in there house because it was the dads idea, this puts all of them at risk him his wife his kids and the jews.  I would try to make a difference if there were enough people to help me and the jews, but if no one helps that leaves me against all the germans, thats like a 5 year old against Hulk Hogan.
