They even ignored the warning when it was confirmed that the Germans plan was to eradicate the Jews. They always tried to keep hope]]> 2021-12-03 14:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1927463627 page 5 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1927476476 ¨Every human being has his own gate. He must not enter and wish to enter the orchard through a gate other than his own. that would present a danger not only for the one entering but for all those who are already inside¨ To me, this is symbolic of how steadfast the Jewish people were to their faith. Often people ask why didn't they just lie about who they were, but there is a danger in trying to be someone that you are not-- whether that is lying about your religion or whether just ignoring your true identity in whatever form. Being your own person in the most important piece of anyone's identity.]]> 2021-12-03 14:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1927476476 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931064535 I didn't understand why the family didn't take their made up on her offer for a safety bunker. They knew the Nazis were trying to exterminate the Jews. The father should have let the kids and him stay in the bunker. He cold have saved the whole family.]]> 2021-12-06 13:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931064535 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931070965 The conditions of the train were terrible. They were packed like sardines and told if anyone escapes they would all get shot. They were given extremely limited food and water. and had to endure the cruel heat. everyone couldn't sit or lay at once they had to take turns.]]> 2021-12-06 13:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931070965 page 24 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931080262 "a piercing cry broke the silence: Fire! I see a Fire! I see a fire!" Mrs. Schachter seemed crazy when sreaming this in the cattle car, But her screams foreshadowed that the Jews were being burned. It's possible that her screams was the feeling of her family being burned at the concentration camps.]]> 2021-12-06 13:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931080262 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931086337 I understand why the fellow Jews in the train tried to confine and gag Mrs. Character. Her screams were driving everyone insane and bringing out the fear they all had within them. If she continued to scream it would have drove everyone in the car mad.]]> 2021-12-06 13:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1931086337 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1935970585 Because Eli and his dad lie about their age and professions they possibly avoided being executed the second they got to the camp. The prisoner that gave them this advice saved their lives. Eli was to young to be seen as a capable worker and his dad would have been seen as to old.]]> 2021-12-08 14:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1935970585 Page 41 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1935981270 "Let there be camaraderie among you. We are all brothers and share the same fate. The same smoke hovers over all our heads. Help each-other. That is the only way to survive". The prisoner that said this has clearly been in the camps a while. He gave Eli and his dad as well as the other prisoners a way of obtaining hope when things seemed grim. Eli uses this to Give hope to Stein who had been in the camp for 2 years.]]> 2021-12-08 14:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1935981270 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1935988129 I wonder if Eli and his dad ever felt bad about lying to Stein. Did they ever think that they were giving him false hope. I also wonder what happened to Stein when he found out that his wife and kids were not in Antwerp. Did Stein hate Eli and his dad in the end for lying to him.]]> 2021-12-08 14:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1935988129 Page 52 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940270392 " all that mattered to me was my 
daily bowl of soup, my crust of stale bread. The bread, the soup those were my entire life. I was  nothing but a bod" This shows the effect of the dehumanization start to take effect in Eli. He started to think of himself as a body more than a person. His daily meals of trash food was all he had left.

I dint know how someone could do that as a human being. I also dont understand how they could have watched that kid suffer while being hanged for so long.]]> 2021-12-10 13:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940280096 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940282333 A recurring theme I've noticed in the story is that the author uses the characters eyes to show how they have changed over their time in the camps.]]> 2021-12-10 13:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940282333 Page 81 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940433014 "I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people." The old frail man saying this really showed how much these people felt betrayed by god. They feel as if he broke the promises he made to them. This man even stated that his faith lied with Hitler due to the fact that he didn't lie about his plans to exterminate the Jewish people.]]> 2021-12-10 14:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940433014 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940437241 It was crushing to hear that if he and his dad had just stayed in the infirmary they could have escaped the camps and the Germans. They would have been set free. I also wonder what happened to the sick old man. Did he get saved and live or was he to weak and died anyway.]]> 2021-12-10 14:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940437241 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940442140 What has shocked me most about this story so far is that the Germans do the worst most inhumane things to these people but still show them some forms of compassion. Why did they give them Christmas and New Years off, or why do they give the sick more and better food. It doesn't make sense how they are so inhumane but still manage to show compassion at some times.]]> 2021-12-10 14:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1940442140 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1944667920 Throughout this chapter Eli and his father decided to stay together and help each other. These decisions most likely saved both of their lives. Eli would have lost hope during the march if it wasn't for his father staying with him. His father would have been killed in the selection if Eli didn't cause a commotion allowing them to switch sides.]]> 2021-12-13 14:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1944667920 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1944677923 The conditions of the march were terrible. It was probably the most deadly obstacle he and his dad had to go through. They ran many miles in the freezing cold while being starved and weak.]]> 2021-12-13 14:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1944677923 Page 115 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1947126770 "From the depths of the mirror, a  corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me" This was a perfect end to a terrible story. Elie didn't even see himself in the mirror. He thought of his reflection as a whole different person. This highlights that he is not the same as when he was home in the ghetto.]]> 2021-12-14 14:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1947126770 Page 112 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1947138663 "No prayers were said over his tomb. No candlelit in his memory. His last word had been my name. He had called out to me and I had not answered" The guilt Elie got from this probably followed him throughout his life. Elie blamed himself for not helping his father.]]> 2021-12-14 14:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1947138663 Page 99 zachary_evans6 https://padlet.com/zachary_evans6/o7ly7ul47um4084q/wish/1947159790 "And I started to hit him harder and harder. At last, my father 
half-opened his eyes. They were glassy. He was breathing faintly. "You see," I cried. The two men went away" This is one of the many decisions Elie and his father made that saved each other. This showed that they were going to remain united, unlike any other father-son duos.
