Hateful Existence - David Munguia - English 6 - Ms. Haro
The Cruelty of the Nazi's and what, and how they impacted the world shocked everyone. When books were published about the horrors if the concentration camps, many had difficulty sleeping, such as a  certain Elie Wiesel.
"Babies! Yes, I did see this, with my own eyes... children thrown into the flames."(32) This is just a sample of the horrors that the Jewish people were exposed to. The experience of the concentration camps made the prisoners hate their very existence.
The Nazi's would replace anyone seen as too humane. "At the start of the third  week, our blockalteste was removed; he was judged too humane."(44) Much cruelty was shown to the Jewish people, many families were forced to separate either by the separation of men and women, or by the different transports that were used to move the people near the battlefront. Stein, a relative of Elie's father admitted that the only reason he chose to live was for his family who had been taken from him due to the separation of men and women. When he discovered the truth of his family, I believe that he had chosen to die. Loss of family, such a terrible tragedy, was able to break everyone's will to the point of wishing for death to bless them with rest.
