JACOB'S RESCUE
A HOLOCAUST STORY
Jacob
Jacob was always used to living in a very wealthy family and in a very nice house. Until the worst of the worst that could happen, happened. THE HOLOCAUST. This forces Jacob to move with a non Jewish family in Warsaw Poland. This father of the family was Alex and he had a wife named Mela and two kids named Marishaka and Yurek. They are not as wealthy as jacob used to be. He has a brother named Sholom who later dies of yellow fever after moving into alexs' house with him and his family,
Alex
Alex is the father of Marishka(Mari) and his son Yurek. He also housed a little Jewish boy so he would not be killed by the Germans. He promised Jacob that he would always be safe. And Alex kept his promise all the way up until the end of the Holocaust. He took on a lot of responsibility and it all worked out.
Mela
Mela is the mother of the tow kids and she is Alex's wife and she supports him with all he decisions he is forced to make, even if they can put their whole family in danger. The scariest thing to her was that she was going to be discovered by the Germans for hiding and Jew in their house, and that her kids might end up being hurt of even killed. She finally started to get mad when Alex accepted the responsibility of taking on another kid named Sholom and they were forced to move a very small apartment with no running water.
