"Jews, listen to me! That's all that I ask of you. No money. No pity. Just listen to me!" Moishe just when through something life changing and no one wants to listen to what happened to him. They didn't just not listen to him they didn't believe what he said.

It Said in the story "He told me what had happened too him and his companions. The train with the deportees had crossed the Hungarian border and, once in Polish territory, had been taken over by the Gestapo. The train had stopped. The Jews were ordered to get off and onto waiting trucks. The trucks headed toward a forest. There everybody was ordered to get out. They were forced to dig huge trenches. When they finished their work, the men from the Gestapo began theirs. Without passion or haste, they shot their prisoners, who were forced to approach the trench one by one and offer their necks. Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for the machine guns. This took place in the Galician forest, near Kolomay." (pg. 6) The fact that this happened to them is not right for the fact that they were forcing them to dig their own grave is not right and for taking their infants and using them for targets is just unbelievable.

It said "You cannot understand. I was saved miraculously. I succeeded in coming back. Where did I get my strength? I wanted to return to Sighet to describe to you my death so that you might ready yourselves while there is still time. Life? I no longer care to live. I am alone. But I wanted to come back to warn you. Only no one is listening to me..." (pg. 7) The fact that no one listened to Moishe is their downfall if they would have listened to him and started to prepare for what is to come then they would not have been scared of the intruders that came for them.

In the story it says "The train stopped in Kaschau, a small town on the Czechoslovakian border. We realized then that we were not staying in Hungary. Our eyes opened. Too late." (pg. 23) This is saying that they were blind and that they didn't realize what was happening until now. But they are already too late to do something about it.

He is a homeless Jew and had to watch the people with him dig a trench and get shot. Baby's getting thrown into the air for target practice. Moishe was shot in the leg and left to die.

People didn't believe that he was shot and people died in a trench that they dug themselves. Not even the person that believed in him.

The story reads "On the third night, as we were sleeping, some of us sitting, huddled against each other, some of us standing, a piercing cry broke the silence: "Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!" There was a moment of panic. Who had screamed? It was Mrs. Schachter. Standing in the middle of the car, in the faint light filtering through the windows, she looked like a withered tree in a field of wheat. She was howling, pointing through the window: "Look! Look at this fire! This terrible fire! Have mercy on me!" This to mean sounds like she can see what is going to happen to them before the rest of the people can even see the fire. She knows that something bad is going to happen to them, but the rest of the group think that she is crazy and just want her to stop yelling.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that if they could have been able to know what was going on before it happened then they could have been more prepared for them when they should up. They could have fought back against them to prevent most of their kind from being killed.

This reads "Over there. Do you see the chimney over there? Do you see it? And the flames, do you see them? (Yes, we saw the flames.) Over there, that's where they will take you. Over there will be your grave. You still don't understand? You sons of bitches. Don't you understand anything? You will be burned! Burned to a cinder! Turned into ashes!" To me this sounds like someone is going to happen to the author and the rest of the group. For the fact that they almost walked into a pit of fire when they first got there sounds like there is more to come.

At this point in the story made me wounder on why the man made the author and his dad change their age. The story says "Hey, kid, how old are you? The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not see his face but his voice was weary and warm. Fifteen. No. You're eighteen But I'm not, I said, I'm fifteen. Fool. Listen to what I say. Then he asked my father, who answered: I'm fifty. No. The man now sounded angry. Not fifty. You're forty. Do you hear? Eighteen and Forty." The fact that this guy is telling them to lie about their age is because of the fact that he is trying to protect them.

The story said "This ceremony, will be over soon? I'm hungry... whispered Juliek. At the sign of the Lageralteste, the Lagerkapo steeped up to the condemned youth. He was assisted by to prisoners. In exchange for two bowls of soup. The Kapo wanted to blindfold the youth, but he refused. After what seemed like a long moment, the hangman put the rope around his neck. He was about to signal his aides to pull the chair from under the young man's feet when the latter shouted, in a strong and calm voice: Long live liberty! My curse on Germany! My curse! My-- The executioner had completed his work." The fact that they killed a little young boy in front of everyone is not right. Just the fact that they killed the young boy is not right. They boy was trying to protect everyone else.

The story reads "Stein, our relative from Antwerp, continued to visit us and, from time to time, he would bring a half portion of bread: Here, this is for you, Eliezer. Every time he came, tears would roll down his icy cheeks. He would often say to my father: Take care of your son. He is very weak, very dehydrated. Take care of yourselves, you must avoid selection. Eat! Anything, anytime. Eat all you can. The weak don't last very long arond here... And he himself was so thin, so withered, so weak... The only thing that keeps me alive, he kept saying, is to know that Reizel and the little ones are still alive. Were it not for them, I would give up." Stein really cares about Eliezer and the author. He wants to try and help to keep them alive and help them out as much as he can.

The story says "I dragged myself to my corner. I was aching all over. I felt a cool hand wiping the blood from my forehead. It was the French girl. She was smiling her mournful smile as she slipped me a crust of bread. She looked straight into my eyes. I knew she wanted to talk to me but that she was paralyzed with fear. She remained like that for some time, and then her face lit up and she said, in almost perfect German: Bite your lips, little brother... Don't cry. Keep your angry, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now... Wait. Clench your teeth and wait..." This to me sounds like a really caring person. She is wiping the blood from is forehead and telling him to not cry and that he needs to wait.

The story says "I answered that I could not because without that crown I could no longer eat. For what they give you to eat, kid... I found another answer: my crown had been listed in the register during the medical checkup; this could mean trouble for us both. If you don't give me your crown, it will cost you much more! All of a sudden, this pleasant and intelligent young man had changed. His eyes were shining with greed. I told him that I needed to get my father's advice. "Go ahead, kid, ask. But I want the answer by tomorrow." Franek sounds like a man that wants things for himself. He is trying to take the crown out of a kids mouth that he needs to eat.

The story said "Well, Father, what do we do? He was silent. Let's be evacuated with the others, I said. He didn't answer. He was looking at my foot. You think you'll be able to walk? Yes, I think so. Let's hope we won't regret it, Eliezer. After the war, I learned the fate of those who had remained at the infirmary. They were, quite simply, liberated by the Russians, two days after the evacuation." The fact that they left meant that they didn't get to be free. But I get why they left and not say. Because of the fact that they thought that if they stay that they will be killed.
