696 Words3 Pages

After darkness had fully consumed the room, the air around Bruno and Shmuel quickly began to constrict around their lungs. Bruno could feel Shmuel’s hand trembling in fear as they both started to hyperventilate. He could hear people passing out next to him, each gasping for any bit of air that was left.

During this explanation, Father had the realization that these Jews are people too. They have family to care for, love, and protect, just like he does.
