Moishe was a poor, homeless, foreign Jew and he got deported. When he was deported he barely survivored. In 1944 Germans arrived and lost their rights. They ignored people trying to warn them also the final solution. All the jews were deported and Elie Wiesel was on the 3rd round of deportation. They were smushed in the train car to the point they couldn't move and only given 2 loaves and a pint of water.

"Our principle was to econonmize, to save for tomorrow. Tomorrow could be worse yet." (page 23) There attitudes changed they went from not worring to wondering if tomorrow will be worse. This stands out to me because in this kind of situation most people are gonna react in different ways. My question is how is everyone agreeing on saving the food. " In the air, the smell of burning flesh." (page 28) They are talking about the crematorium and them burning the Jews. They were smelling Jews being burned.

I wonder how everyone had in their mind that everything was gonna be okay even though there was many things that showed them the trouble there gonna face? After the final solution came out the Jews thought that the Germans would never reach them that the war would end before they could. I understand they wanted to keep a good mindset but theres only so long you can pretend that something isn't happening.

The conflict was when the Germans showed there true intentions. While everyone ignored all the signs. For example, when the final solution came out they knew about but ignored it and went on with there lives. So when the germans put them in the ghetto, they realized that they should of done something before it was too late. "The ghetto was ruled by neither German nor Jew; it was ruled by delusion." (page 11) This is showing how even when they were in the ghetto they thought nothing of it.

" The real answers, Eliezer, you will find only within yourself." (page 5) This shows foreshadowing about the whats gonna happen with the Jews. Also how there gonna survive the holocaust.

A event that got my attention was when they got off the train into one of the concentration camps. "In front of us, those flames. In the air, the smell of burning flesh." (page 28) The woman on the train warned them of flames but they all thought it was her going crazy. The burning flesh was the Jews. I couldn't believe that they could smell the burning. I could never image leaving my home without a choice and being relocated and the worst part is they keep thinking that it can't get much worse.

A recurring symbol is eyes. In chapter 2 eyes are referred to 3 times all of those times its always a blak gaze, piercing eyes, and how their eyes opened too late. This is showing how you can tell something by someones eyes. How looking at someone's eyes will tell whats going on. This was trying to show how bad its gonna get.

1. What does it mean 'our eyes were opened too late'?
This means that they didn't believe what anyone said about what was happening to jews until they saw it for themselves.
2. What was foreshadowed by Mrs. Shachter's visison?
She was seening fire like them buring Jews in the crematorium.
3. What did some of the passengers do to quiet Mrs. Shachter? What would you have done"
They tied her up to keep her quiet and beat her. I would've tried to ignore it an focus on something else.
4. Where did the train stop?
The train stopped in a mall town off the Czechoslovakian border.

Thinngs were just starting, the germans came but they weren't like what others said they were. They were polite and friendly and even when the Jews knew about the final solution they still didn't think anything of it. Finally they got placed in Ghettos but they still ignored it and kept there optimism up.

If Elie didnt lie about his age he could been said he was too old and but in the crematorium. Elie saw people going into the pit of fire and baby's going in too. The quote "Never shall I forget these flames which consumed my faith forever" meant that after Elie saw that hes starting to question his faith. Elie changed by when his father was beat he just stood there and a few days ago he would've fought back. His first impression of Aushwitz after Birkenau was that it was nice and better than where he was. Bela Katz was forced to put people into the crematorium and had to burn his dad. Formalities they had to go through was be disinfected and take a hot shower also stand during roll call for a long time. The identification they used was tattoos of numbers. The prisoner in charge of Elie's block was removed because he was too nice. The rations at each meal was at breakfast black coffee, at lunch soup, and for dinner bread. The irony of the gate says "Arbeit Mack Frie" which means work will set you free but none of them were gonna get out. In the end of chapter 3 they were in Buna he was in 3 camps.

# data[].attributes.body
A cause and effect of chapter 3 is when a prisoner came up to Elie and told him to lie about his age. Because he lied about his age and told him he was 18 he got to stay with his dad. If they knew he was 15 he would have to go with Dr. Mengele who did experiments on kids. The other prisoner helped him so he would have to go through that.

Why didn't the characters just go in to the crematorium and put themselves out of their misery? I was wondering if it was because their beliefs and killing yourself was sin. Most of the Jews still had their faith but at the same time who would want to go through. Keeping your faith is one thing but suffering through that. I also wondering if it was because they were hoping they still had family alive. They were staying strong for there family and continuing on.

"For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify his name? The almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank him for?" This stands out to me because for his age Elie was all about his faith and when he was losing it after seeing everything. Elie was wondering if there was even anyone there.

An event that shocked me was when they were hanging people especially when they hung the child. This surprised me because I didn't expect them to hurt children like that even though they were burning people. Hanging people for everyone to see was terrible and out of line.

"They're bombing the Buna factory," someone shouted." (page 60) This stands out to me because why would they only bomb the factory and not the whole camp. Unless they were trying to make a point. Was it the Russian, because the war was going on. But they also dropped a bomb in the middle of camp that never went off.

# data[].attributes.body
Why didn't more prisoners come to steal the soup? When the bombing was happening all the prisoners had to go to their barracks but soup was left unattended out in the open and only one person went to get it. It more people went out they wouldn't shoot everyone because then their wouldn't be anyone to do the work around the camp. So why didn't more people leave to get extra soup?

I wonder how everyone kept up their hope the whole time? Was it because they hoped some of their family was still alive? Somewhere deep down they had to know that their wasn't a high chance that they were still alive. But somehow they still managed to keep going and not give up. That had to be so hard to do even when they were going through selection to see who would be killed. They made it look like they were still healthy so they wouldn't be killed. Why though, why wouldn't they just let themselves get picked and they wouldn't have to deal with this anymore. I understand most of them had their faith but how did they keep it up the whole time?

# data[].attributes.body
When Elie Dad had to stay back at the camp after selection. Elie was hoping he wouldn't die and thankful he didn't. Elie kept on working and tried not to worry. That had to take alot of effort to do when in the back of his mind he was wondering if his dad would die.

# data[].attributes.body
When Elie ran through selection because I was wondering why the guards didn't think anything of that. They ran through so they wouldn't get picked but how did it work.
