Section 3
"What do you think? Do you suppose we've come here for our own pleasure? Do you think we asked to come?" (Wiesel 39).
I feel that this quote gets down to the essence of how the Jewish people felt during this time. They were so scared and confused but also angry at being put through this, and rightfully so. This particular prisoner expressed exactly how they felt more than the others and probably died for his actions. This really sets the tone for the Jewish peoples' reaction to their unfair treatment.
"Was I still alive?... I could not believe it. How could it be possible for them to burn people, children, and for the world to keep silent?" (Wiesel 41).
In this quote the author lets readers into his perspective. The issue seems more real, particularly when one realizes that the rest of the world stood by and watched these people get tormented to near extinction as a culture. It makes readers wonder why the world didn't do more and kept silent.
