Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Marika

Marika has a Jewish heritage but she's a practicing Catholic. Although her father says religion is unimportant, he advises her not to act "so Jewish." It's not a good time to be Jewish in Budapest. Marika has heard bits and pieces about the war, and knows about bad things happening to Jews in other countries. But she's convinced that those horrible acts cannot happen near her home. She's more concerned about surviving her parents' separation.By the time Marika is 11 years old, she has helped her father and uncle forge identity papers that will "prove" they are not a Jewish family. When Hungary is eventually occupied by the Nazis, Marika and her mother are taken away to a school where all Jewish people are gathered. Marika's father bribes a man to buy her freedom but not her mother's. Marika escapes, having forgotten to warn her mother not to volunteer for the work camps.

The Jewish Holocaust in Budapest is characterized by its late and swift occurrence. Marika's story reflects these tragic events.

Evaluate Epithetical Books Marika

This book was fantastic. It showed such a great story of a Jewish family, who lived in Hungary during the time of the holocaust. It portrayed the hardships they went through so well because they were Jewish. Also, it told a story a family struggling to stay together. At the end I completely cried. This book couldn't have had a better ending. This is one of my favorite historical fiction books ever. I really encourage everyone to read this book. I'm just so happy I randomly picked it up at the

The book Marika is about a girl named Marika who grows up living through the Holocost and she has very hard times. Just like any other girl, Marika dreams of being a book writer and can't wait until Adam, the boy at school, finally walkes hand in hand with her. Marika also has dissapointments too; Like the wall that's build to separate her mother's room from her father's room. Marika thinks that's bad. Then things start to change. When the Nazis start invading Hungary, Marika will do anything

A young Jewish girl raised Catholic in Budapest recounts her experiences age 12-16. Although fiction, the time and capacity are a slightly less jarring introduction to the holocaust, made accessible for younger readers.



Marika is only 6 when her father builds a wall to seperate their apartment. Marika grows up in a family who is of Jewish ancestry, but practices Catholic rituals. World War II looms over her childhood. Marika struggles to survive in Hungary after the Nazis invade.

I was a little disappointed in this book. I found it to be disjointed with many different memories/stories that could have had more depth. It was interesting to read a WWII novel set in Hungary - something I haven't read much on.

One of my student teachers is planning to teach literature circles and chose the theme of the Holocaust. So I am reading all the books for my job :) If you enjoy YA books like Ann Frank or Night, this one is about Hungary and the growing up years of a Jewish girl whose worldview is altered by the impending invasion of the Nazis. Based somewhat loosely on the story of the author's own mother.
