Night Entry 3

In this entry of Night which I read untill page 27, Ellie is sent to a smaller ghetto, and later sent in a train to a concentration camp. Their, before getting to Auschwitz, a guard announced they were arriving to Auschwitz. That was the first time any of them had herd of the name. This surprisingly, was a name the survivors will never forget in their lives.

This book shares one very common thing with the stories of other Holocaust survivors, either in the film The Painist, Maus, Number the Stars, The Cage and other such films and books. That my friends is hatred. In page 17, we ca see why: '' It was from that moment that I began to hate them, and my hate is the only link between us today.They were our first oppressors. They were the first of the faces of hell and death.'' This is also the main reason why I don't really like the Holocaust or the stories of it's survivors. Besides from the Nazi's being the ultimate villains that satanically and barbarically killed many hundreds of Jews. The Jews regardless from which country they came from Hungary, Poland, Austria or Denmark, responded with revenge and the same hatred the Germans had showed them earlier. Does this leave the world with anything valuable to remember? It only left a sad, scarred and humilliating past for many Europeans today.
