The villagers don't believe Chaya because when she tells them about the Nazis they don't believe her. They think the Nazis are cool and nice and Gentle. "The only man the can hurt of is God." They don't know they're going to a camp that;s bad and were they can kill you. Chaya told them they have Gas chambers,Ovens where they burn you etc. If I was in the position of Chaya I would Scared out of my mind. I would never trust someone I know and I would defiantly not a Nazis. If i was them I would try to sneak my way out of the Temple where they where getting married and run as fast as I can to safe property.
The Nazis are really bad people. They are people who destroy things and kill lot's of people. The people in the village think that Chaya is lying about them. She is trying to tell the story but the villagers don't believe her. I would say to the villagers that if you don't believe me, then when the Nazis come and kill you, don't say that I didn't warn you. If you don't want to listen to me, than that's fine because I know all about them and you don't know anything about them. They are the worst people to ever talk to because they are dirty to people. They make them do stupid stuff just for their fun.
The Nazis aren't the "nice people" that the villagers think they are. They don't care about the Jews. All they care about is killing them. Chaya is trying to tell them of all that, but they look at her with shock. If I was Chaya I would tell them what would happen. With the concentration camps, the gas ovens, the showers, and what else ever happen. But if they didn't believe me. I'd personally say when they get there "now don't tell me I didn't warn you."
continued from my other one... This is what I would say to the villagers. "Don't listen to them Nazis. They aren't the people you think they are. They just want to kill us, they don't care about our protection and safety. They're going to throw us in concentration camps and kill us. But if you don't believe me, go. But don't tell me I didn't warn you.

I don't really know much about the Nazis besides from the concentration camps and the death camps. So I would tell them about the concentration camps and the death camps. if I got transported back to her new family. then i would tell them not go with them.
Nazis are violent people and are a disgrace fro the U.S. they care nothing of Jews all they car e about is killing them, working them, and making their lives a living..... They might think they are nice but that's only a setup and that's the oldest trick in the book they have very hateful evocative feelings for Jews. Chaya is trying to persuade them to believe her if i were in her shoes I would not give up and would keep trying. I would say : " Look I know that many of you haven't believed a word I have said since I've got here but I am not lying. Your lives are at danger you have to believe me. I might just be girl but I am a girl who never lies. Now I am asking you to trust me i am your only hope and chance. It's either me or nothing. The choice is yours.
THY THOUGHT THE GIRL WAS LIEING SO WHEN THEY GOT THERE NO 1 BEVLAVED HER THEY WHERE NOTICES THEN THEY SAID FLOW US WILL TAKE TO SOME WHERE THY CAME WITH THEM AND THEY WHERE TAKING TO DATHCAMPS
I don't really know much about the Nazis besides from the concentration camps and the death camps. So I would tell them about the concentration camps and the death camps. if I got transported back to her new family. then i would tell them not go with them. After that I will tell them how the Jewish got tortured and the other things that happened to them. if they don't believe me it's on them.
they don't believe her because she is just a little kid. i only know that they took people out of their homes and put them in cruel places. also that they use to beat them or tortured them with things. i would try to the villagers that i know what happens. i have read it in a book its not pretty. if you don't want to listen to me that's fine i wont feel bad if you get captured, but Im going to stay here so i don't get taken away.
All I know about the Nazis that they are a blood thirsty jew killers and I would tell the villagers that if you are a jew you would die and would have to go to concentration camps.
If I was sent back to the year 1940 and had to convince the Jewish population not to go with the Nazis it would go like this. First I would make sure i had the pictures of the atrocities committed by the Nazis, second I would have a map of were they could be going, thirdly I would speak out against the Nazis and make them look like morons and liars, And lastly I would rally up all the Jews in the area and take them to a safe haven in an allied country like England or somewhere else in Europe maybe even America.
I would do anything possible to get those people out of their. The Nazis are murderers and I don't exactly know how I would prove it to these people so I would probably tell them. I would just do what ever I ca to force these people out of the area if they wont listen to me. I would not want to do this but if forcefully moving these people is the only way I guess I would because they are most likely Innocent.
If the villagers didn't believe me then I would try to say anything and everything about the Nazis. I would tell all of the villagers that the Nazis are very convincing. And they also have "new houses" for us. When I say houses I mean death camps and the showers aren't real showers they are really gas chambers. I don't know much but they will hurt all Jews, Crippled, Blacks etc.
The Nazis are very evil, they are similar to demon spawns...no actually they are demon spawns. All they do is kill, rape, torture, and take whatever pleases them. I just don't understand why the villagers won't believe Chaya. And if I ever saw a Nazi and I never knew who they were, I would be frightened. Because of the way they look, they all look the same, armed with powerful weapons, and they are filled with hate and evil. so if I were Chaya and the villagers don't believe me I will tell them it's their loss and dart out of their as fast as I can far away from them.
The thing I know about the Nazis is that they are bad because they take jews to concentration camps and kill them. And Nazis are people who work for Hitler. I would tell them we got to go this isn't a good idea they work for Hitler, and their gone to take us to a camp and kill us. Also, their gone to starve you, you can't wash, you'll never escape, and you'll never see your family ever again.
The Nazis are really bad people that hurt and humiliate people for no reason just for what ever pleases them.Even when Hanna or should i say chaya said the Nazis were going to kill us they didn't believe her.If i were her i would say fine don't believe me but i'm trying to save you all because your lives are at stake. If i were her i would be mad, frightened and scared all at once because of what will happen.

The people in the village did not believe her because they might she would be crazy from the sickness that her parents died from and how she talk about television. i whould tell them that shey are going to kill you ano theyd tell them what they look like so they know that your knoe something so they trust your jumjent
These people did not believe Hannah because they thought Nazi's where fun loving friendly Germans but they were actually completely opposite. They are harming, killing,murdering,nasty,brutal,no heart people. they kill Jews just because they're not the same race as you. I really wish you could be in some Jews shoes to see how it feels to be tourtred, smoked, crushed, burned, every nastily thing in the book. And i actually did't think the Jews were the scum of the earth because the Germans were they killed Jews for no apparent reason. Devilish people. They should have never judged people on how they're race is just because they were losing the war this is such a disgrace to the human race and the U.S.
