At one point in the book the Nazis were in Eva’s living room. In this situation the author wanted to make you scared, the author is trying to make you terrified of the Nazis. One of the sentences she used was “I didn’t understand what he was saying just the fear he was creating”. In that sentence you don’t even need to infer, the author technically says that the Nazis are creating fear for Eva.

At the end of my chunk Eva starts to mention to the girls that the teacher at the concentration camp isn’t telling the truth, and that the German race isn’t the most superior race on the planet. The holocaust wouldn’t have happened if one person (Hitler) wasn’t ignorant about other people. If Hitler looked at Jews as equals and not as “pigs”, the holocaust would have never began.
