    War stories are gruesome. They capture the reality of war--death, grief, and pain. “The Sniper” and “Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” (by Liam O’Flaherty and Tim O’Brien respectively) are both shining examples of this; unpacking the glorification of victory to reveal how humans are dehumanized and trained to kill other people. Their differences outline a common theme: how war dehumanizes people from killing and guilt, and how that all builds into a catastrophe later on in life.…

    The Nazis did not think of the Jews as human so they were not provided with what a human needs to stay healthy or at least to survive. The victims in the camps were overworked and not given enough rest time, which resulted in exhaustion and even death by exhaustion. Life in the camps was brutal but straightforward, work until death. As the SS officer informed the Jews upon their arrival “ ‘you are in Auschwitz…It is a concentration camp. Here, you must work.’…

The sounds of battle cries pierced through the fog, along with the explosions of guns firing bullets…
