Introduction
Throughout World War 2 Germany was living and thriving in a sea of repression. Hitler and his followers blamed the Jewish for many things that had gone wrong during World War 1 and the germans believed that the Jewish needed to be punished for that. Nazi’ started forcing the Jewish out of their houses, stealing their valuables, transporting them in overpacked transport cars, relocating them to concentration camps, and it is at those concentration camps where they were starved, beaten, and destroyed. Before all of these actions were able to happened Hitler’s SS officers had to be trained to repress the Jewish and it is from that point of view that you should “read” my documents. In Elie Wiesel’s book “Night” we were told that the reason that the Jewish did not fight back was because they could not believe that human beings could do such things and that is why I chose to write my documents from the view of a SS officer who is completing his training and learning how to treat the Jewish.

They felt the pain, suffer, and lose.

They had a job to accomplish and if they did not treat the jews as told or kill enough of them they would me moved to the front line of the war, where their chances of surviving were

    While reading the book Night by Elie Wiesel, one of the things I learned about was the jews living conditions. I read about Elie living them with many other jews and it stuck out to me because how could a person live like that and stay alive?

    After facing a few years of trials and tribulations, Elie Wiesel was able to survive those hard times and live to speak about it in Night; his autobiography, which described his life over a time of nearly two years in concentration camps and life on his very own hell on earth. Night goes into depth about Elie’s experience in the concentration camps; Auschwitz and Buna where not only does he lose his family, but figuratively himself, God, and hope for humanity. Miraculously, Elie survived the persecution and genocide of the Jews during the Holocaust, but sadly his conscious and faith did not. Elie had to witness and faced obstacles that were never meant or suitable for a boy his age and that drastically changed his mindset and outlook on life.
