Read page 10 in Light from the Yellow Star. Imagine the scene as frightened Jews are loaded into crowded boxcars. Pretend you are there as either a Nazi, a Jew, or a bystander. Write about what happened as if you were writing in your journal or diary.

• What did you see and hear?
• What did you feel?
• What did you do?
• Why was this happening?
• What do you think will happen after this?

Read your story in class and listen as others read theirs.
