I chose this quote because it shocked me. How could anyone just go and kill someone without a second thought. Even today after hearing hundreds of stories about the evil things some humans do, such as the Nazi's, I am still shocked. People like to think that all humans are above animals, but there are those who are more animal than human.

This quote interest me. The Germans for the first few days never entered the ghettos. The Jews while in this particular ghetto had formed a government. However the quote said that even though the Germans created the ghettos and the Jews had created a government for them, it was an illusion that governed them. The illusion of safety. That everything will be okay soon just as long as you go with it.

This quote explains to what lengths the Germans were willing to go to catch and kill all the Jews, they were willing to kill everyone in the car if even one person escaped. The Germans believed that the Jews were the source of the worlds problems and should be killed. The Germans though that since the Jews were the worlds problem they should be killed brutally and without hope of surviving. Without hope man loses his ability to cope or move on from a certain experience, and slowly loses his sanity, excepting the fact that he will never escape from his suffering, that's way everyone believes in some thing. They need hope because without hope they have nothing. Everyone needs hope to be human, if they don't have hope they're just a shell of their former self.

Choice is what drives people to do things. Its a persons choice to do or don't do something. Choice and freedom go hand in hand, the hope of freedom is what drives the most violent uprisings and revolutions. The moment people get a taste of freedom they want more. Its a basic human want, the want to do whatever they want to do when ever they want to do it.

This quote is describing the big pot of soup sitting in the open. Since the prisoners were only allowed so much to eat at a time, and so little at a time, their captors were basically starving them. So the big pot of soup was to them the ultimate temptation. Everyone needs food, you can only survive for so long without it. Even if you do eat something your body desires to be full.

By this moment in time the surviving prisoners of the concentration camps have been though a lot. They have cried a lot also. They cried over the deaths of loved ones and over the thought of their own individual fates. They used to be afraid of the thought of how they would die, and soon of what if they didn't die. They had been though so much that to some of them death would be a comfort, an escape form the pain they're in. Death would mean freedom to them, they were no longer afraid of it. Humans tend to avoid the concept of death because its, unsettling and scary to imagine what happens after death. People say there is only one thing guaranteed in life and that is death, the same thing most of these prisoners would welcome in a heartbeat.

These men are referring that two years ago the situation in Buna was several times worse than it is now. They say this because the SS used to do things like make the prisoners almost naked in below thirty degree weather. It was a method of killing off the Jews in a way in which you wouldn't have to keep shooting them. The Nazi's wanted to kill off the Jews because Hitler had shifted the blame of the world's problems onto the Jews. He thought that the Jews were the cause of the world's problems, while I don't really know why he thought that I don't believe that this was a reason to kill people in this fashion. I don't think there's a real legitimate reason to kill people anyway.

The Nazi's didn't treat the Jews as men at all, so why did they always clean the sleeping quarters when they had to evacuate? The probably did it to try and fool people into believing that they were killing the Jews but they were also treating them as people. Which was a lie nobody believes.
