In my opinion I personally liked __The Devil's Arithmetic__ movie better than the novel because I could actually see the things that really happened. Also, I like to see the pictures rather than imagining them because it's more interesting to me. My favorite part in the movie was when Hannah came back to her Aunt Eva's house because she was finally free from the camps and was back safe. It made me feel happy because I thought she was going to die but it was only a dream. My least favorite part in the movie was when I saw the people getting hung, because it was very scary and sad to me. I would definitely recommend both movie and novel to people who like historical fiction books and history on the Holocaust. I really learned a lot more about the Holocaust when reading the novel and watching the movie.
