The Complete Double E Showdown: Ellen vs. Eva

Without a doubt, I think Eva Schloss is far braver than Ellen Rosen. I think my perspective can be supported with evidence in many ways. For example,in the very first chapter of Number the Stars, when in the presence of Nazi soldiers, "Ellen's face, usually rosy-cheeked, was pale, and her dark eyes were wide." This severely contrasts with Eva, who, in the concentration camp, defied the Kappos by breaking rules multiple times (stealing valuable objects, taking work shortcuts), and seemed to accept the Germans' authority, and long as she was with her dearest Mutti.
