For the Nazis it was clear, in their thoughts, that they were superior to the Jewish people even though they stayed in silence. The Jews, however, enjoyed the moments with their families and believed that they had a new home. ]]> 2021-12-03 16:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1927770999 guilhermedefigueiredo https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1927774302 I wonder what passed through the Nazis guards mind, for example, they saw all this horrible things happening and just stood quiet, following the order,  What if some of them didn't agree to the way the Jews were been treated? They lived together and suddenly had to send them to "hell" (Auschwitz). I wonder if someone believed that that was wrong.]]> 2021-12-03 16:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1927774302 guilhermedefigueiredo https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1927777611 " There are rumors", " Go wake the neighbors, they must get ready". These quote stands for me because the Jews were clueless about the truth, they had rumors but only knew about that they were leaving home and going to something that they called "journey". The disinformation it was present and, because of that they did not know that they were been sent to a concentration camp, Auschwitz.]]> 2021-12-03 16:58:30 UTC https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1927777611 guilhermedefigueiredo https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1927779428 "Our principle was to economize, to save for tomorrow. Tomorrow could be worse yet". This quote brings the reflection of the misinformation and how it was essential for the big number of Jewish deaths. The quote happens while they are at the train and with no idea where they were going, after a night the arrived at a concentration camp called Auschwitz which, for them, was unknown.]]> 2021-12-03 16:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1927779428 guilhermedefigueiredo https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1933890725 As soon as Elie and his family arrived at Auschwitz, strange looking creatures got in the wagon.

And in Auschwitz is not a convalescent home. It is a concentration camp. Here you must work. If you don't work you will go straight to the chimney, to the crematorium." (p.38,39).

The fact that the Nazi were looking for value items  and calling "medical checkup" bothers me . If there was a really sick person would he/she be treated?  This makes even more ruthless.]]> 2021-12-10 17:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1940805716 guilhermedefigueiredo https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1943157870 Elie's father got beaten with a iron bar and all he did, and could do, was watch all happening without moving, "That is was what life in a concentration camp had made of me". Surely, it was very difficult to just stay there and watch his own father in pain without being able to help. The abuse of authority was an absurd, without any kind of humbleness.]]> 2021-12-12 20:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1943157870 guilhermedefigueiredo https://padlet.com/guilhermedefigueiredo/x6cn4l5zyhly1zv/wish/1944973250 "Some people said we would be going to Czechoslovakia. No: to Gros-Rosen. No: to Gleiwitz. No: to ...". They were leaving Buna, their lest night in Buna, and again, everything was a mystery. They didn't know where they were being taken or how long would it take to get there.

After all the horrible things he still had courage to say that there lived man? Those people did not lived in man's condition, they were tortured in so many ways.
