Okay I really feel bad for young Suzie... all that she had to go through... I mean I can see why she wanted to see her father in the end... he was everything to her as a little child... but people change... I sobbed the first few times I watched when she found out he had a new family when he got to America... and he had said that he no longer believed in a God so was no longer a Jew....  She should have stayed with Cesar and always be happy  |

Oh dear. When I watched the beginning when she was a little girl I felt SO bad, I definitely cried. No little girl should have to go through that. The lost look on that little girl's (what was the actress' name) face made me so sad.

No young child should have to even try to understand all of that.... And in England when the other school children are so mean to her... And then the teacher who hits her for speaking Russian... and then she forgets it all... And the family that takes her in hitting her for smashing their picture frames... |

That teacher who hit her for speaking Russian...I have a few choice words I would like to say to him.  Perhaps someone should smack him. How could he do that to such a little child? She didn't even understand him when he was telling her she was not allowed to speak Russian. What an awful way to learn a new language... |

I know I'd really like to give him a piece of my mind.
Didn't he understand this was ALL NEW to her?
He could have been a bit more forgiving ....at least I thought so!

(Wow, new topics are popping up left and right!)
I was torn to pieces when she didn't end up in America, but London, and they gave her a new name. Then she offered her coin saying "America" (thank goodness the man didn't take it from her, that would have killed me!)

I know that was terrible but he was trying to help her. She was getting bullied for being a Russian 'gypsy' and the teacher knew that the only way she was going to survive would be to turn her into an English girl. He also said that he had been through the same thing...so although it was horrible, he probably saved her from a lot worse things  That bit where she was riding on the back of that cart clutching at the picture frame brought a real lump to my throat  Poor Suzie |

Yes you're very right  She was being save a lot of grief in the long run, but it was hard to see. A young child should not have to be put through that, but if they can overcome it, as she did, she'd be a stronger person for that! ;D |

I don't think I could've gone through everything Suzie went through. It's incredible to see how hard her whole life was. It was like a series of unfortunate events.
