Summary: If I Stood Camp Or Crematorium

If I Stood Camp or crematorium? If I was in the situation of the Jews and if I stood in front of the selection line I would want to be placed in the camp. One of those reasons being I want to be given a chance of liberation. If I had a choice, I would want to go to the camps also because I do not want my way of death being burned alive. The last reason of my choice being, that I do not want to die from my choice. I would want it to happen on its own. So my choice would definitely be going to the camps. Liberation and freedom are an option when people are placed in the camps. Whether there is a big chance or small chance it is possible. And going to the camp would give people that chance. If everyone where sent straight to the crematorium they would not have that opportunity to be set free. The camp contains hope. If someone gets sent to the camps they have to constanly work. But then if they get liberated then that work paid off, because everyone has to work for what they want. Our country had to fight for our freedom and we succeeded. We will be freed but we will have to stay strong and work for it.
Being burned to death is a struggle and unwinnable fight in the crematorium. No one wants to be in the life or death situation like that. With that being said I understand there is a chance of death, even going to the camp, but it is not certain right away. I would rather die later on from a different cause than to slowly burn and have to suffer. It was a harsh way of death and unforgettable. Every little kid incapable of working was burned to death. Just to think of that upsets me. "Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turn into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky."
