info on Warsaw
When the war first started, a man named Edward Smigly-Rydz. He was a foe to Hitler, and he fled Poland as soon as it was taken over by the Nazis. In the story, Misha and his friends live in the streets of Warsaw, and later get taken to the Warsaw Ghetto (above). An interesting thing about Warsaw is that it was one of the biggest ghetto during the war. Warsaw was affected because Jews made up 30% of the population and they were moved to only 2.4% of the city. it affected the characters in the book because they had to be in the ghetto as well.
