A really amazing Holocaust narrative that I can't believe I haven't read before. It did a wonderful job of showing the emotion behind Riva's life in the ghetto and in the camps. A great example of Holocaust Lit aimed at young adults.

The Cage was a true story and consists of real experiences. Fortunately I find no fault with it because of that. However, I suppose that Ruth could have done quite a few things better. For one, she actually decided to go the labor camp. Over the course of the book, Ruth is constantly reminded of how terrible the living conditions and the fates of many laborers yet she still goes to one with her siblings. I'm also confused on why Ruth fell in love during the book. I mean, her siblings and her own well-being should be the only thing that matters to her in my opinion. Also, Ruth's siblings buying her a new dress was very impractical because they decreased Ruth's bread rations without her consent. The kindness of the gift was rather sweet, but pretty stupid in the long-run. Other than these minor things, I can't find anything wrong with the book. ( )

This book is about a teenage girl named Riva. Riva is a Polish Jew during the Holocaust . Her mother has died so she has to take care of the family as best as she can on her own. Riva has a few brother but sadly all of them die of sickness or hunger until only two of them are left. Eventually they all agree to go to a camp because they are starving and the camps promise food (along with the extremely hard slave labor). Riva ends up getting separated from her brothers and they go to different camps. Eventually the remaining prisoners from Riva's camp are saved by Russian Jews just before the Nazi guards were about to execute them.

I thought this was a great book. It showed the true details of how terrible the Holocaust was. Nothing was left out to lessen the impact of what truly happened during World War 2. This book was extremely sad...and it should be! I liked how the story was completely true. Nothing was fake or made up. The author did a great job depicting the events of the Holocaust. I would recommend this book, but be warned- it's a hard read emotionally. ( )

The Cage is a book which takes place in WW2 in Germany. It all starts on a sunny day everyone is happy and all are enjoying their lives, one day the Nazis said that Jews were not allowed to own any businesses, homes or any belongings like chairs and beds. Riva, the main character in the story had a lot of brothers in which one died of lack of vitamins. Rivas mom was taken away by the Nazis to a Concentration Camp. Rive and her brothers were spared, Riva and her brothers would hide in the cellar when the Nazis came in looking for Jews. Riva later on also had a problem with lack of Vitamins, but she was saved when her brothers exchanged their bread for a lime so Riva could get the Vitamins she needed. But the day did come when all Jews were forced onto the train to the Concentration Camps, Rriva and her brothers were sent to "Auschwitz', a concentration camp.

In "Auschwitz' everyone had to take all there belongings and put them in a pile, they had to take all their Close off and their heads were shaven. They were pushed into showers with cold water and had to eat boiled grass. A long time later Riva and a lot of Girls were sent to a different Camp, Riva was separated from her brothers. At the new camp they were relived that they're were no Gas Cambers but the Commandant who was in charge of the camp wasn't very nice. Now every day they had to go and work in the factory, Riva has been writing poems for the camp prisoners to get their hope up. One day though Riva got a blood disease in her right arm, after the Camp commandant was talked into letting Riva to a Hospital Rivas arm got better. After that Riva was suppose to work in a Solder Hospital where Riva meets a nice Russian Lady, who was feeding and bathing Riva. After the Camp entertained the Soldiers and Riva got a new poem book they were shipped off to another camp, at this camp no one was happy they had to dig dirt ditches and work all day. The next day were the Soldiers took them all on a "Death March", suddenly all the Soldiers flee and they're all saved by a Russian Jew who takes them to a safe place.

I give this book three stars because it never got me into reading it. When Riva's Mom was separated from them I was sad. The book was rather hard to read, because of how the story is told they never say what happens to the Russian Lady. This book is very sad so I recommend it for people who like sad books. I did enjoy how this book is a true story and how it teaches me how they have lived in 1945. ( )

The cage is about a girl named Riva, first in the present but then distracted and remembered Lodz, Poland. and her three brothers in the past with the Holocaust. In the book it talks about Riva and her family getting robbed of their valuables and taken away from their homes and into the Lodz ghetto, also known as the "cage." When they got to their home at the ghetto, Riva had a very ill brother named, Laibele. When Riva and her family hear guards coming they got liabele and hid him in their secret hiding place underground. They hid him there because if the guards find out that he is sick then they will execute him. After that everyone was taken outside and split into groups with women and children on one side and men on another side. The men were sent off to work while the females stay and make uniforms, carpets, or stuff for the military etc. Then one day Riva became very ill, so ill where she couldn't walk around the house anymore. So her brothers wanted to help her so they gathered all the bread they had to buy Riva vitamins to drink for her bones to get strong again. Later in the summer Laibele dies of a disease. When they were taken out one day Riva's mom was taken away to a concentration camp. When their mother left this lady kept coming to their house saying that they would need to find a new family for her three brothers, Laibele, Motele, and Moishele. One day when her bones were healed the consular woman said she may have a solution to not having to give her brothers away. that was to adopt them, which she did. When she went home to tell her brothers the news they were all happy. When the NAZI's came back they took Riva to Auschwitz concentration camp. When they got their she met two sisters and they were punished for stealing. The next day the guard made someone the group elder and the group elder chose a doctor. When they chose people they took the girls to a tunnel on where to work Riva was going to use a tool but she was to small so the guard took her and others to a tunnel with a shovel and buckets, which Riva cut her finger on. when the doctor saw her cut she realized it was getting worst and she needed to see a doctor before it gets even worst. When the guard took Riva to a hospital almost all of the hospitals she took her too denied her since she was a Jew until one finally said yes.The doctor looked at her finger and said it doesn't get better we will have to cut your hand off. Riva didn't want that. Soon her finger got better and the doctor didn't have to cut it off. Riva and her friends are deported to another labor camp some time after. Riva returns to Poland only to find that her home has been given to a Polish woman.

I think this story was interesting because I learned a lot from it and realized how the holocaust was and what they would do to Jews, or just anyone who got in their way. I also thought this book taught me something because in this book the author is saying how it was like in the past with the NAZIs and Hitler. When I began to read this book i thought it was going to be about Riva telling the story to her daughter but no it was flashbacks. I give this book a 4 star because this book seems like an important part of history. this book didn't seem just like any book it was lie history. The Cage is like a summary about what happened in the past and what had happened to Riva and her family. I just think this book was a very good and important type of book. ( )
