Section 5-6

QUOTE: "A silent death,suffocation. No way of crying out, of calling for help," (Wiesel 100).

ANALYSIS: This quote is about the death, the terrible, prolonged death of the Jews. I am fascinated, yet disgusted at the same time. The truth of this is disturbing and wrong, yet in some ways true.

QUOTE: "Dozens of starving men fought each other to the death for a few crumbs...," (Wiesel 105)

ANALYSIS: Dozens... Astonishing, yet repulsive. I hate the feeling of imaging having to kill another being over food, but that was what it had come to.. So terribly astonishing.
