Discussion 1: illustrator: light in darkness

Discussion 2: connector: when the Jews were in a train car, it makes me think of malls and of all the people and how Closter phobic it makes me feel.

When the woman was going through a mental break down she would scream “Fire! I see a Fire! I see a Fire”. It made me a little anxious reading that because it made me think of like a horror movie of someone almost being possessed.

Discussion 3: literary laminator:      “we were brought some soup, one bowl of thick soup for each of us. I was terribly hungry, yet I refused to touch it.”

– this shows us the difference from now in the novel to future in the novel. Right now he is still the spoiled rich kid he was, nut soon he will learn that he has to eat to survive and will literally eat anything.

Elie said “yes, my mother did hear from them. Reizel is fine. So are the children”

Elie had not heard anything, but he decided that the most important thing in the concentration camp was hope, so Elie gave Stein hope.

Discussion 4: summarizer: first the Jews are forced to watch some hangings of their own peoples, then many of them were moved into different groups. It was selection time, all of the Jews were very frightened because if they were selected they would be sent to the chimney, in the end neither Elie or his father were selected, however Elie was moved to the very hard labour group and it sucked.

Discussion 5: researcher:

The Jews were forced to walk atleast 20km in the freezing cold knee high snow, and then were stuffed in a train car, where many died.

At least 3,000 prisoners died on the Gleiwitz route alone. Approximately 9,000-15,000 prisoners in total died on death marches out of Auschwitz’s camps, and those who did survive were then put on freight trains and shipped to other camps deeper in German held territory.

in every one of these train cars there were 100 prisoners.

Discussion 6: illustrator: Ellie no longer recognizes himself.
