First, in the movie Hannah is chosen to go with the Nazi's because her friend Rivka was coughing so Hannah took her place and then died. But in the novel Hannah chooses to go in the cave. Second, the Nazi's almost shot her in the neck but Rivka saved her life. On the other hand, Nazi's never put a gun up to Hannah's neck.

Lastly Lee marries Schumel, and in the novel Fayge marries Schumel. =PARAGRAPH 4= Between the novel and movie, I mostly enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the movie more because to me when I saw the movie, I understood what happened more than in the novel. My favorite part was seeing what it was like for Hannah during the time in the Holocaust because I never really knew about it until I read the book. My least favorite part was when Hannah died because I thought the book was over after she entered Lilth's Cave. I would recommend this book to children so that they could see what their Grandparents went through during the Holocaust. I really enjoyed reading and learning about the Holocaust. I think that the teachers picked a very good book because I think everyone enjoyed it just as much as I did.
