When Yanek moved from the plaszow to Wilczka Poland

he saw the salt mine and felt happiness looking at how beautiful It is. While he was walking, he saw a juderant from Krakow and felt rage, anger, and fury. I know this because it says in the story. "stolen everything else from us while the Nazis took my mother's ring. I remember my mother's eyes that day, the emptiness that had never been completely gone away. I've been so scared so protective that I had an even felt anger I did now"(pg.102) with this anger he wanted to start a rebellion. Then one of the Jews started to fight back he wanted to join but no one else would. Then the Nazis started picking people and they killed them just because that one guy tried fighting back. he felt like he could do nothing he didn't care if he died or didn't anymore

Yanek's literal Journey

before this Yanek was in a death march where he almost died. after this, the Nazies told them to go to bed and Yanek was just thankful to be out of the cold. Then they had to shower in freezing water, but Yanek still wanted to get clean. During this all he could think about was a toothbrush he used to use and how happy he would be just to have a toothbrush. then they made them stand outside for roll call for hours. then someone wiped their face and the SS officers went out and made him do the Sachsenhausen sault and Yanek felt bad for him cause if he dropped at all he would be shot. the guy in the saulet ended up dropping and dying.

Though this camp wasn't as bad as most of them, people would kill themselves by jumping on electrical fences just to end their suffering. Also, they would kill multiple of the people and they would only leave a little bit of them to survive. For the ones who did survive they wouldn't work for an entire week. On page 197 it says, "Take the other workers back to the barracks," the commandant said with disgust. "No work for a week, until they regain their strength." This explains how Yanek was sent here and he now thinks it's all good because he doesn't have to work.

Also people walked into the zoo and Yanek wondered if when they looked at him if they saw an animal or a person and he went even so sure himself this is how the chapter could have messed up again and challenged him mentally.

Yanek figurative journey

Yanek doubted surviving at this Camp because he tried switching sides but a prisoner called out that Yannick had taken off his Star of David which was unfortunate. Yanek still had high hopes at this camp hoping that war would just be over and it seemed like it. Because Yanek realized they didn't have to wake up roll call or do work because the soldiers didn't know what to do. Then soldiers came to the camp and the prisoners thought that they were Germans so some people accepted their fate and some went to hide.

But soon, the prisoners realized that the soldiers were allies and Americans; they had been saved. This helped his mindset because he realized that all the survival he had done paid off, and he would get to see the real world.
