What was the setting of the devils arithmetic?

"The Devil's Arithmetic" is set primarily during the Holocaust, specifically in a Nazi concentration camp, as well as in a contemporary Jewish family’s home in New Rochelle, New York, during a Passover Seder. The story alternates between these two time periods, highlighting the significance of Jewish traditions and the impact of historical events on personal identity. The contrast between the modern setting and the harrowing experiences of the past emphasizes the themes of memory, remembrance, and the importance of understanding one's heritage.
