Death By: Sean Santerre & Dmitry Ignatyuk
“Men to the left! Women to the right!” http://www1.yadvashem.org The Jewish are separated into groups of men and women, also being separated from their families, many believing that they are being separated into groups to be exterminated.
"Do you see that chimney over there? See it? Do you see those flames? (Yes, we did see the flames.) Over there-that's where you're going to be taken. That's your grave, over there." http://farm4.static.flickr.com The group of Jews spot the towering burning chimneys where many can only expect is the sign of death for them to come when they reach inside the camp.
“Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live.Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never http://www.eliewieseltattoo.com Throughout the long, miserable nights death not only took people's lives but other people's will to survive, belief in their religion, and hope in their dreams.
“’Where is God Now?’ And I heard a voice within me answer him: ‘Where is He? Here He is--He is hanging here on this gallows.’" http://www.photo-exhibits.com Among the men hung and killed in the gallows, death also claims another victim recognized by Elie known as God himself.
"The last night in Buna.Yet another last night. The last night at home, the last night in the ghetto, the last night in the train, and, now, the last night in Buna. How much longer were our lives to be dragged out from one 'last night' to another? " http://www.scrapbookpages.com Death stalked and followed all the Jewish as they awaited their death every night not knowing when it would take their lives.
"We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything--death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth." http://www.adibrown.co.uk/ Nothing matters to the prisoners anymore except surviving. They are so close to being liberated that they can't give up even in the harshest of weather. Their human instinct to survive is coming into play.
"How could I forget that concert, given to an audience of dying and dead men!" http://www.statepress.com/ None of the prisoners had emotions when anything was said to them, they would just stand motionless. They had been mentally scarred.
"When they withdrew, next to me were two corpses, side by side, the father and the son. I was fifteen years old." http://www.ushmm.org/ The sight of dead bodies scared Elie for life and he was able to remember exactly how old he was because it was such a strong image.
"We were all going to die here. All limits had been passed. No one had any strength left. And again the night would be long." http://www.holocaustpictures.org/ It seems that Elie wanted to give up on trying because of all the death he has seen. At his age he doesn't know how to handle this but tries to live day by day hoping to be saved
"After my father's death, nothing could touch me anymore." http://www.jphs.org/ It would be devastating if Elie lost his father because he was Elie's driving force and without him Elie wouldn't know what to do.
