Letters From Rifka

  • Rifka and her family leave Russia

    Rifka and her family get on a train for Poland.
  • Rifka tricks the guards so her family can all get on the train to Poland

    Rifka has blond hair and blue eyes, so she could pretend she is not a Jewish girl.
  • Typhus

    Rifka and her family, except for Saul, caught Typhus (an infection causing fever and flu systems). Have to stay in Poland.
  • Rifka helps a girl with her hair on the train in Poland.

    The girl she helps has sores on her head and it makes Rifka nervous.
