Rivka's rules of survival.

There were several things she had told Chaya (Hannah) and her friends.

- Do not lose your bowl (the bowl to eat). It is the only one you will get.

- Read prison numbers.

- Do not talk while working.

- "Organize" things.

- Do not stick out or do anything for the Nazis to notice you.
