The Devil’s Arithmetic?

I have recently read this book and I need some help with answers I can’t seem to find in the book. [its not homework, just a study guide for a test im having after summer break so it would help a lot if you could help me]

Where do Gitl and Shmuel live?
Is it The Bronx or Viosk or another place? >.<
What are 3 things that changes about Hannah herself one she's in the fantasy place?
So far all I can get is that she understood Yiddish...I don't get that Q.
What are the American names of 3 of the survivors of the camp [which I think they only give you 3 in the book yet I can't find them]?
All I know is that Rivka is Aunt Eva. I couldn't find anyone else.

Plz && thnx! If you've read When My Name Is Keoko it would help if you'd answer my other Q =]

1. i dont know, some small village (i think they call it a “shtetl”) in Poland (?)

2. Hannah actually LIVES in New York, but her memory thing is in Viosk, etc.

3. understood yiddish
knows all the people
(i cant think of the another one( :(

4. oh Wolf is her crazy grandpa, rivka is her aunt, and Gitl ended up being one of those people who liberate kids in camps, and the guy (i forgot his name, he wanted to marry gitl, hes a redhead, he escaped when shmeul got murdered) became a politician.

look in the epilogue thing, it helps. sorry, this answer isnt really thorough, i read it like a year ago:)
