I can barely recall my life before. I try to think back sometimes, but the exhaustion I experience will not let me. Even though we have finally arrived at a new concentration camp, Gleiwitz, my dad is now terribly sick and I am awfully weak. I give him my food as often as I can, but he seems to only…

And then there is the most simple question that has a most complicated answer: What does freedom mean to me? Many would agree with me when I say that freedom is the absence of restraints that keep you from the ability of doing a specified action verbally or nonverbally. It is also, for the unlucky men and women who lack freedom, the…
