The holocaust was one of, if not the, worst events in history, German soldiers killed six million Jewish men, women, and children, and even more were put into concentration camps.

He was beaten, tested over and over for many months, and he was filled with trepidation, yet he kept going through it all. He was forced to evacuate and move to another camp, the soldiers made him run to an abandoned town, then to a train where him and many others were shoved into one box car. This part of his memoir is the most terrifying because of the horrid weather, dangerous prisoners, and the blood-curdling soldiers. As he was running the harsh weather caused many to fall and die.

Also, they didn’t give them any food, and if they did it would be just bread pieces that they threw into the car for their own amusement. In addition to that, they never did anything to keep them from killing each other. All the soldiers wanted was for the prisoners to end up
