According to Lars, The Open Door “For the proud, the worst death is a slow death...”. Most Jews in camps weren’t given a quick and painless death. Nazis wanted Jews not only to die, but to suffer before, and during death. For some Jews there slow death meant starvation, exhaustion, or illness. But for others their deaths were suffocated in gas chambers, beaten to death, or getting experimented on by Josef Mengele, also known as the angel of death. Most people think of suffering when on the topic of the Holocaust, that is what the Nazis wanted, slow and painful deaths for all Jews.
