No, he was also wrong to have done this too, because he should have saved his father, and he should have stopped him from getting killed even after getting heart. And I think he should've been more caring and mindful and considerate of him too.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I don't think that this is right because lying is wrong, and if it were an emergency, then Elie should have told his relative Stein about it immediately.

1.) Mrs.Schachter wasn't crazy because she was correct about the fire that was gonna perish them.
2.) He remembers her because he realizes she is correct about the fire  once he sees the chimney, the fire, and the smell of burning human flesh.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think she was crazy but started to lose her mind temporally

# data[].attributes.body
1) I think that Mrs. Shachter was not crazy. She knew more than everyone else knew and she turned out to be correct.
2) Elie's father remembered her in this moment because he realized that she wasn't crazy and that she was correct.

# data[].attributes.body
Nah she wasn't crazy just loud and annoying, she was right because people were dying in the fires

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think Elie should have helped his dad because I think if he did he would've got beat too and possible killed. So he made a start decision by not doing anything and standing by.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Elie because if he was keeping his cousin protected. If he would've told the truth, his cousin would've been in danger along with himself.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because it would of been wrong if he lied

# data[].attributes.body
she was not crazy because she was just able to see things. Elie's father only remember her because they were seeing what she seen before

# data[].attributes.body
i agree because he was trying to protect his cousin and not get him into trouble.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Elie lying because this gave the man hope which was very important at this moment in this mans life.

# data[].attributes.body
no she wasn't crazy. She just knew what was going to become of her life and that was most likely what was driving her rage.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Elie should have told the truth because that was the only hope that he had been holding onto. If Elie told him that he had heard from them then his hope would have been shattered and he wouldn't want to keep going.

# data[].attributes.body
It's not anyone business so he did right to lie about it

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs. Shachter had gone insane due to the stressfullness of her situation

# data[].attributes.headline
I don't think he should have helped his dad because its everyman for himself. If he would have helped he likely would have been punished and that would be bad.

# data[].attributes.subject
I don't think he should have helped his dad because its everyman for himself. If he would have helped he likely would have been punished and that would be bad.

# data[].attributes.body
She was not crazy but she could somehow see the future, which is pretty unique.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with what he said because he was trying to help his cousin he was helping save his life

# data[].attributes.body
i don't think he should have because maybe his dad and him could have had worse consequences that they probably already got

# data[].attributes.body
The lady was not crazy since she had reason of fire as in the future time they saw a chimney as it carried the burning of the dead bodies and his dad remembered her since they arrived at a pit filled of flames which was the lady described.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that he should have helped his father because he would have just been beaten too which wouldn't help anything.

# data[].attributes.body
even if he would have tried to do something he could have gotten hurt himself

# data[].attributes.body
Elie shouldn't have told the truth because then he would have killed himself.

# data[].attributes.body
If Elie were to help his dad then he probably would have been hurt for interfering with something that wasn't technically any of his business.

# data[].attributes.body
Because if he would have told him the truth than he would have no reason to live and just give up on life and not to try

# data[].attributes.body
his dad is old and can't take all that was happening to him something much worse could have happened to him because of all that was happening

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Elie did because he cared about his cousin. It was a white lie that could have saved his life.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if Elie would've done something to help his father out, him and his father would've gotten a worse punishment or they both would've died.

# data[].attributes.body
It wasn't right of lying to his uncle since now he has this idea ingrained into his mind and could affect his decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
No, she just knew the truth while everybody else was oblivious.
He remembers the woman who helped him out after he was beaten.

# data[].attributes.body
Because if we would have said something than be would have gotten a worse beating than his father

# data[].attributes.body
If Elie would have tried to help his dad, he could've been hurt 10xs worst then his dad was. He maybe could've been hurt so bad that he would've die

# data[].attributes.body
disagree

# data[].attributes.body
No she was not crazy she was just some how able to see the future. Elie's father remembered her because they were seeing what she envisioned before.

# data[].attributes.body
because if he had stood up for his father, he would have been beaten too, maybe even worse than his father.

# data[].attributes.body
If Elie had done something to help his father he could have made the punishments worse for both his father and himself

# data[].attributes.body
If Elie tried to help his dad while he was being beaten, he and his father would suffered consequences, possibly even death.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because he would of probably made the situation even worse then it was and he would of got the same  consequence as his dad

# data[].attributes.body
Should Elie have told the truth?
He told us that he had been deported in 1942. He said, "I heard people say that a transport had arrived from your re- gion and I came to look for you. I thought you might have some news of Reizel and my two small boys who stayed in Antwerp..."

I knew nothing about them...Since 1940, my mother had not received a single letter from them. But I lied:

"Yes, my mother did hear from them. Reizel is fine. So are the children..."

[...]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."

One evening, he came to see us, his face radiant.

"A transport just arrived from Antwerp. I shall go to see them tomorrow. Surely they will have n e w s ... "

He left.

We never saw him again. He had been given the news. The real news.

# data[].attributes.body
If Elie would've done something to help his dad would've gotten the same thing beating that his dad received or even worse.

# data[].attributes.body
Elie should have done something to help his dad? Why or why not?
I stood petrified. What had happened to me? My father had just been struck, in front of me, and I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent. Only yesterday, I would have dug my nails into this criminal's flesh. Had I changed that much? So fast? Remorse began to gnaw at me. All I could think was: I shall never forgive them for this. My father must have guessed my thoughts, because he whispered in my ear:

"It doesn't hurt." His cheek still bore the red mark of the hand.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Was Mrs. Shachter crazy? Why or why not?

2. Why does Elie's father suddenly remember this woman during this moment?

We were walking slowly, as one follows a hearse, our own funeral procession. Only four more steps. Three. There it was now, very close to us, the pit and its flames. I gathered all that remained of my strength in order to break rank and throw myself onto the barbed wire. Deep down, I was saying good-bye to my father, to the whole universe, and, against my will, I found myself whispering the words: "Yisgadal, veyiskadash, shmey raba...May His name be exalted and sanctified..." My heart was about to burst. There. I was face-to-face with the Angel of Death…

No. Two steps from the pit, we were ordered to turn left and herded into barracks.

I squeezed my father's hand. He said:

"Do you remember Mrs. Schächter, in the train?"
