April 16, 2012 Theses are two quotations I pulled from the novel. Copy each and paste each onto you page and explain each. > [|Death] > Death
 * >> “By the way-I like this human idea of the grim reaper. I like the scythe. It amuses me.”
 * >> “I do not carry a sickle or a scythe. I only wear a hooded black robe when it's cold. And I don't have those skull-like facial features you seem to enjoy pinning on me from a distance. You want to know what I truly look like? I'll help you out. Find yourself a mirror while I continue.”

__**Domonique Garcia- TAGS**__ __**Colors-**__ **Colors is a big part in book because certain colors symbolizes different things that could've happened in the war. For example RED could symbolize blood, or fear, BLACK could've symbolized the gun shots, or the bullets.** __**Thief-**__**This is big part in the book because theres a girl named Liesel, a German girl who obviously steals books, but i haven't got to the reason of //why// she steals book.**

In April, 2011, Jean-Claude Goldbrenner typed his name into Google.

To his amazement, the first search result was a photo of himself -- **taken in the 1940s at the end of World War II .**

Jean-Claude is a Holocaust survivor. The photo he found is part of //Remember Me?//, our Museum's innovative effort to identify more than 1,100 photos of children who were separated from their families during the Holocaust.

Jean-Claude recently visited the Museum to share his family's incredible story of loss and survival. Please take a few minutes to watch this short video that he recorded: **http://act.ushmm.org/Jean-Claude**



Jean-Claude is one of 108 individuals identified by the //Remember Me?// project so far, and we continue to receive new information about the photos from supporters around the world every day.

Together, we're shedding light on this dark moment in time, reconnecting friends and loved ones, and giving survivors new information about their family's history during this period. After Jean-Claude contacted us, for example, we were able to provide him with new details about his father's journey after being captured by the Nazis in 1944.

During his visit to the Museum, Jean-Claude expressed gratitude and support for the Museum and for //Remember Me?//:

> "I think the duty of memory is at the essence of this Museum. It's a contribution of telling what happened to my mother, to my father, and the other members of the family who perished in the Holocaust."

In addition to contributing his personal history, Jean-Claude has assisted our efforts by identifying three other children whose photos he recognized.

We are working to uncover all of the untold histories contained in the //Remember Me?// photo gallery, but we need your help. Please **visit //Remember Me?//** and share the Web site with your family and friends to increase the chances of identifying these children.

Sincerely,

Lisa Yavnai Director, Holocaust Survivors and Victims Resource Center
