Hannah is trying to tell the other girls the "story of now". She wasn't trying to tell them stories about the future, she was trying to warn them about what happened in the camps. Hannah wanted them to remember what they were experiencing..... she wanted them to survive. Hannah wanted them to keep all that was happening in their memories.... she wanted them to know that the Jews survive.
