"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" (6). I wonder what type on mental 'road blocks' they had to overcome seeing their friends and family had this done to them.

"Germany would be defeated. It was only a matter of time, months or weeks perhaps" (8). At this point, the Jewish people who had been captured had no idea when they would be liberated, so how they kept on makes me wonder what pushed them to keep going.

"There are a thousand and one gates allowing entry into the orchard of mystical truth. Every human being has it's own gate. He must err and wish to enter the orchard through a gate other than his own" (5). This quote is memorable to me because it shows he the Jewish people felt in the situations they were put in.

"But we never ate enough to satisfy our hunger, we ate to economize, to save for tomorrow" (23). This quote stands out to me because it shows that Moishe and the fellow Jews thought ahead.

"Look! Look at this fire, the terrible fire!" (25). This stands out to me because it is forshadowing as to many of the Jews' fate in the concentration camps.

"Look! Look at the fire, the terrible fire!" (25). I thought that it was both crazy and scary what was happenening to those the Nazis captured and that the lady on the train was seening what was going to happen.

"Could this be a nightmare? An unimagineable nightmare?" (56). This quote stands out to me because I couldn't imagine to be in such a situation in which you just felt that you were in such a bad situation that you felt it just couldn't be real.

"Three. There it was now, very close to us, the pit and its flames" (58). Being so close to death, and then the quick decision to let them do labor instead of dying is both crazy and lucky to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I've noticed that the reoccuring theme in not just this chapter, but all of the story that I've read keeps bringing up people's eyes. The story seems to mention them during any significant moment in the story.

"Bite your lips, little brother...Don't cry. Keep your anger,
your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not
now...Wait. Clench your teeth and wait ... " (78) This quote stands out to me because Elie stays patient, and I couldn't imagine trying to stay patient in a situation like that.

"All of a sudden, this pleasant and intelligent young man had
changed." (80) This quote stands out to me because it shows the character development of everyone in the concentration camp.

# data[].attributes.body
"I told him that I needed to get my father's advice." (80) This quote stands out to me because I often get my father's advice on certain situations as well.

# data[].attributes.body
"What are You, my God? I thought angrily. How do You com-
pare to this stricken mass gathered to affirm to You their faith, their anger, their defiance?" (91) This quote shows that Elie is beginning to have doubts in his faith.

# data[].attributes.body
"On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused." (93) This quote shows that even despite what Elie was put through by the Nazis, he still pushes through, despite what he thought.

# data[].attributes.body
"I ran to look for my father." (93) I saw this and knew that Elie's character hasn't changed that much, as he is still just as concerned about his father as he was when they entered the camp.

# data[].attributes.body
"I shall never know. All I can say is that I prevailed." (94) I could not imagine how it must've felt when Elie was struggling with whatever he was struggling with that made him nearly suffocate.

# data[].attributes.body
"Let's hope we won't regret it, Eliezer." (107)
This seems to be a bit of a reocurring theme in the story. Many choices by Elie and his father seem to just be 'make a choice, hope it's the correct one'.

"Cannon shots broke the silence of night. How close the Russians were!" (108)
It's crazy to think how excited Elie must've been to hear the Russians coming very close to liberating them.

"OUR FIRST ACT AS FREE MEN was to throw ourselves onto the provisions. That's all we thought about. No thought of revenge, or of parents. Only of bread." (140) I couldn't imagine being so hungry that after finally being freed from capture I didn't care about loved ones, but only food.

# data[].attributes.body
"I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep." (137) How can one be so numb to pain that when the one thing that is keeping you going is taken from you, that you can't cry?
