Rivka made the rules of survival to keep herself and others alive while in the concentration camp. Her rules were based on experience and observations and included things such as paying attention to the numbers on others' arms; those with shorter numbers have been at the camp longer and likely have tips on how they managed to survive for so long.

Rivka's rules of survival.
There were several things she had told Chaya (Hannah) and her friends.
- Do not lose your bowl. (the bowl to eat) It is the only one you will get.
- Read prison numbers.
- Do not talk while working.
- "Organize" things.
- Do not stick out or do anything for the Nazis to notice you.
I hope that helped.
