Some even insinuated that he only wanted their pity, that he was imagining things." (pg. 7).
This quote represents disbelieving because all of the other people refused to believe Moishe's story and some refused to outright listen to him. Even Elie stated that he wouldn't keep telling the stories to others because he himself wouldn't care whether or not people believed him.]]> 2021-04-30 17:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479393966 alaina_keenan https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479408440 "The people were saying, "The Red Army is advancing with giant strides...Hitler will not be able to harm us, even if he wants to..." (pg. 8).
This quote represents optimism because even with the German forces getting closer, the people refused to let it concern or bother them and even said that the Red Army would surely be able to get to them before Hitler could.]]> 2021-04-30 18:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479408440 alaina_keenan https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479428669 "The optimists were jubilant: "Well? What did we tell you? You wouldn't believe us. There they are, your Germans. What do you say now? Where is their famous cruelty."" (pg. 10).
I think this quote shows teasing because in their statement, they were mocking what others had said and countering it by proclaiming that other claims about German forces were untrue and how kind they were.]]> 2021-04-30 18:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479428669 alaina_keenan https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479442534 "In fact, we felt this was not a bad thing; we were entirely among ourselves." (pg. 11).
In the ghettos people allowed things to return to "normal" among themselves and started to see it as a good thing. They had spent enough time in the ghettos that it didn't even seem like a bad thing any more especially because all of the Jewish community was now in one place.]]> 2021-04-30 18:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479442534 alaina_keenan https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479462295 "There were those who said: "Who knows, they may be sending us away for our own good. The front is getting closer, we shall soon hear the guns..."" (pg. 21).
As soon as transport was mentioned, people were concerned about it however they still were unaware as to where they were being transported to. This made them feel better in leaving their town because the had hope and confidence that they would be taken to a safe location.]]> 2021-04-30 18:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479462295 alaina_keenan https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479473262 "We sensed that we were gathered around the familial table for the last time. I spent that night going over the memories and ideas and was unable to fall asleep." (pg. 22).
After more people had been taken away, it became a little more concerning for those left in the ghettos. The ones who were last to go could sense that wherever they were going, it would not be safe for them.]]> 2021-04-30 18:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alaina_keenan/usctcj2yttlw1b4r/wish/1479473262
