Being a jewish kid may not be the most fun thing in the world, but Hannah emphasizes this point when she complains about passover and the jewish customs. Hannah is like any normal kid but having all the jewish customs she must complete has her wishing she was not jewish. Basically she does not want to have the responsibilities of a jewish kid which is not bad. Although Hannah can appreciate the holocaust she does not like the jewish customs.
In the beginning of the book Hannah thoroughly complains about the passover. However she is very interested with grandpa will and the numbers. So interested that she tries to copy him with the numbers but then wonders why he gets mad when she does those kind of things. This means she does care about what happened in the past. Hannah is young when she does this though which makes it not valid right? Wrong, she does this because she cares about her grandfather and wanted to pacify him and make him not feel left out. However this was in the past when she was young which yet again don't matter but im talking about the present.

However anyone in the right mind would have done the same. Taking a step back to being Hannah, before she opened the door she had some thoughts. Grandpa Will said open the door to Elijah. As she went to open the door the book says she felt dumb and did not believe Elijah would come through the door. She thought to herself, “Baby stories”. This means that Hannah does not believe in her religion and thinks it’s babyish. But is people being killed, discriminated ,and scared for years
