I enjoyed the narrative trick of each of the girls and their teachers representing a different fraction of the historically built conflict and learning about Rwandan history without it taking the center stage. The characters could have some more depth though, I would have loved a longer book or less characters.

There are no actual Jewish characters in the story, just a lot of Anti-Semitic rhetoric from various bigots.
