Ask them to choose a number on the number line which they most agree would express their actions and stand by it.

I found a note in the book that the story is based on a story of Christophe Gallaz. Gallaz seems to be a swiss writer, but it doesn’t explain the name. But there is also a German edition with the title „Rosa Weiss“. Second problem - Rose's story is just not historical reality. Her actions just couldn't, wouldn't happen. It is just not feasible to think that Rose could get away with following, finding, and bringing food to the children in the concentration camp. Nazi soldiers were simply not that unobservant. And why doesn't her mother notice the missing food at a time when food was so very scarce?
