• In the "Parshas Truma" episode on pages 57 to 59, we see an example of Vladek's sense of faith and fate.
• later in the story, we will see and hear a similar story about Vladek's "number".
• [starting on page 64, we begin to see mice wearing masks.  As Mr. Coward would say: "What up wit dat"?]
• When a person pretends to belong to a different race or nationality, we could say they are trying to "pass".
• We will see many more examples of Vladek and Anja "passing", as the story continues.
• On page 65, we hear about Vladek's father being humiliated by German soldiers.  Why did the Germans act that way?
• On pages 68-69, what happens to Artie's coat?  What motivates Vladek?  Why is Artie upset?
• In Chapter 4, on page 77, we see Vladek dealing in the "black market".  How does he make money this way?
• On page 79, why is Anja's father "so unhappy!"  He has already been cheated out of his factories.  Why would a bit of furniture upset him so much?
• On page 82, we hear the term "ghetto".  What does that word mean to you?  What did it mean to the Jews in Poland?
• On page 83, why are the men (mice) hanging?  Who are those men (mice)?  What was their crime?
• On pages 84 and 85, we see more examples of Vladek being "pragmatic".  After seeing his business associates hanging, why does Vladek continue with his "black market" dealings?  Does he consider his dealings to be immoral or just illegal?
