What is the significance of Dr. Tree and his study? Why does Rosa reject his version of reality? What does she object to? Can you make any connections between her attitude toward Tree and her attitude toward Stella?
Dr. Tree has an interestingly signifiant role in Rosa's life for many different reasons. She hears about Dr. Tree from Stella, so her immediate reaction to first meeting him is negative because of his connection with Stella. Anything that relates back to Stella causes Rosa to cringe inside and have a poor attitude about, and you can see this clearly in her relationship with Dr. Tree. This doctor is making a case study on people who "survived" the Holocaust and their direct connection to it. His extrinsic way of working for the money and the recognition is what makes Rosa so mad. Many people she has met in her antique shop do not care about the personal story behind the object and I think that Rosa feels as though she is an object in Dr. Tree's study, in which he does not care about her personal Holocaust story or about how she has been affected by it: just that she survived. All that Dr. Tree represents brings Rosa to hate him and all of those people in her store who pretend to care when they really just want it for "show." Dr. Tree thinks that because Rosa was released from the concentration camps, her reality is that she survived safely. But Rosa never has accepted her life after the camps as reality because without Magda she has no future or a past. Her time spent in the camps was her reality, as she even told Mr. Persky. Rosa does not like Dr. Tree for forcing this survivor reality on her and she does not like him even more because now Stella's reality is that she was a survivor and must move on with her life. Rosa hates that Stella has moved on because she feels as though she's forgotten about it. So she has rejected Stella and Dr. Tree all together because they stand for this modern idea of Holocaust survivors and she is not part of those who moved on with their lives, she still is in camp reality and is still holding onto her personal story.
