In Elie Wiesel’s Night book‚ a description of Auschwitz-Birkenau was mentioned. “In front of us‚ those flames. In the air‚ the smell of burning flesh. It must have been around midnight. We had arrived in Birkenau. The beloved objects that we had carried with us from place to place were now left behind in the wagon and‚ with them‚ finally‚ our illusions. Every few yards‚ there stood an SS man‚ his machine gun trained on us. Hand in hand we followed the throng” (Wiesel 28-29). In addition‚ Elie has

February 27‚ 2012 Night Discussion Questions: Chapters 8 & 9 Dylan Gnatz 4. Wiesel reports that after Buchenwald was liberated‚ the prisoners had no thoughts of revenge. Is this surprising? The prisoners’ lack of will for revenge is in no way surprising. The Jews held in the concentration camps had little will to survive after liberation‚ let alone seek retaliation.

significant in his development into Batman. Conclusion I love Gotham’s thriller-themes. It’s perfect for the month of Halloween. I am loving the villains coming into their own‚ that once weak Cobblepot has his own evil throne. However‚ I am at a loss with the romances. I feel some of the moments are forced and poorly placed.
