    According to the testemony, the Nazis behaved very formal to the convicts, without too much privacy, either positive or negative (Levi, 12). It was also important fot the Nazis that prisoners who were supposed to work in labor camps to be healthy otherwise they were of no use (Levi, 13). The Nazis tried in a grotesque way to show their activities towards other races and nations, which they found to be the enemy, as positive. That is why at the entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp they brought a group of writers to write a sign post 'work liberates'. (Left, 14)…

    The well-spoken Quintus Horatius Flaccus, more commonly known as Horace, once professed that hardship has the ability to provoke hidden skills that which other wise would have never shown themselves. This philosophy is especially true in comparison to the life of Elie Wiesel, a beautifully written Holocaust survivor. Wiesel writes to all who haven't lived through the horror that is known as the Holocaust, in efforts of “transmitting the history of the disappearance” of those who were brutally and unrightfully killed. With a tone of gloom and mourning, Wiesel argues that if it wasn't for the disastrous circumstances of the Holocaust, he would have never become the vivid writer that he is.…

    Dehumanization Among Prisoners When considering the indescribable events that took place during World War II, often times people conclude that the guards of the concentration camps were the only ones who dealt out the inexplicable cruelty to the innocent Jewish prisoners of World War II. This statement later proves to be completely fictional. Elie Wiesel, writer of the memoir, Night describes the unthinkable injustice dealt to the prisoners by the German officers, but also the inconceivable: the dehumanization of prisoners by other prisoners. In his memoir, Wiesel goes beyond explaining the horrors of Hitler and the Nazi regime, but further explains how the prisoners and victims did nothing to rebel or perhaps even stay united as prisoners.…

If they got a piece of something to eat, they grabbed it and ran away in a corner and fought off anyone who came near them” (Holocaust-trc,…
