Chapter 3

Concentration Camps:

  • If you told the truth and they didn't like it they would change it. One person said they were 50 but they wanted him to be 40 so he had to pretend to be 40.
  • You had to lie about your job.
  • They killed some people by burning them.
  • The barbers shaved every hair on their body
  • They throw all their clothes into piles.
  • They had to dig holes and carry sand
Class Discussion:
  • Smelt like death
  • Crossroads in the center of the camp-selection processes 
  • Dr. Mengele 
  • SS officers every few yards
  • Babies were being burned in a ditch
  • Second barracks were two stories and cement 
  • Sign "Work Makes You Free"
  • Crematoriums
Night=darkness blanketed his life

Dehumanization:
  • Forced to remove clothing
  • Beat the prisoners
  • Brand the number on their arms
  • Transferred in the cattle cars
  • Stuff in barracks 
  • Shaving heads
  • Taking valuables
  • Gave them unfitting clothes
Stein of Antwerp:
  • Elie lies to Stein to give him the will to live because his family knows he is alive. 
  • Stein disappeared after he was given the "real news"
