The chapters read contain powerful experiences and images that make one's skin shiver. It was unbearable how the Wiesel family and the Jewish community form Sighet was taken like cattle to the cruellest extermination-concentration camp... Auschwitz. The moment Elie as a 15 year old teen saw the sign Auschwitz, everything was doomed for him and his family. It was a very suspenseful detail the one of Mrs. Schachter that kept shouting in the middle of the night that she could see flames, then one can feel so overwhelmed when Elie was able to see the chimney of the Crematoria, and when he started walking toward the chimney, and watched the faces of the babies burning inside it was tremendously shocking.
The distorted minds of the German officers are often portrayed in many descriptions, in most caese they are true. What surprised me was that chief of a labor camp where Elie and his father had been sent because he was terribly different. It is so sad he was switched for being human...
One of the medular parts of this chapter is the strong disbelief inside Elie towards God and religion itself. In terms of fiction Elie would fit in a very dynamic and round character because he is undergoing a process of tranformation where his knowledgeand new experiences are mixing with the touch of the survival instincts that make anybody grasp to a weak possibility of life.
Gestapo officers are cold as wet stone, even towards those who have a nose just like him, towards those who had an innocent childhood just like him, towards mothers, sons, daughters and humanity itself. It is a merciless self-attack...
Mr. Crow: Mr. Mengele appeared unfortunately... That is a proof that shows that science can be a key of dementia, eternal hatred, hideous experiments and a distorted mind. Lies are sources of short instants of happiness and tranquility...How sad it is to know the truth at the risk of death...
