    Use this blog to post your own questions. Please list the page number(s) you are referencing in your questions. You may also include vocabulary words. I will open a separate blog with my questions and vocabulary.
     
     
    Quiz this week: Only one quiz this week that will cover what we have read so far in previous weeks - up to page 75.
     
     
    This week's homework:
     
    B: 11/5: 75-85; 11/6: 85 - 95
    D: 11/6: 75-85; 11/7: 85 - 95
     
     
    A partial answer to Thomas' question about the Department of Labor Exchange... I am unsure of its exact purpose, but many times the underground movements would burn any building that may have record of Jewish persons in the area. This could be in the form of a census or simply a storehouse for birth certificates, deeds, etc. I am inferring that perhaps this place held some type of work related information that could be used to trace Jewish citizens in that area.
