Journal #12-from chapter 12
"They hear us speak in many different languages, which they do not understand and which sound to them as grotesque as animal noises; they see us reduced to ignoble slavery, without hair, without honour and without names, beaten every day, more abject every day, and they never see in our eyes a light of rebellion, or of peace, or of faith"
When I read this passage, I felt great sympathy towards the Jews. I sometime wonder how cruel humans can be. Even if I were a German, I think it would be difficult to treat other people in such cruel manner. However, if I were a Jew at that time, I would exactly know and feel the same as the passage above. The Jews are gathered in one concentration camps, but are from different countries. Everyone speaks a different language, but the Germans do not bother to understand. The Germans only care about their language and culture. To them, the Jewish are animals. The language the Jewish speak are just animal noise. The appearance of the Jews are slave like. The Jews are basically slaves to the Germans. Only useful slaves are kept a live, while the worthless ones are killed. Every day, more labor, beating, and hunger is in a Jew's life. Hope disappears in a person's eyes. You no longer see anyone in their eye. The Jews are hopeless and exhausted. The Germans can see that through no hope they have no faith, peace, or even try a rebellion. The Germans are successful in making a person feel useless. As the Jews are useless to them, the Jews are starting to feel as if they are worthless. Living in a concentration camp is hopeless that you have no faith or peace. You have no strength to even think. Your body does not try to rebel, but only dream of being at home. Having to be a dream seems such a crime..... I think in this world, we need to show equal love to everyone. Wealth, looks, and smartness does not matter. Making a person feel hopeless without any peace and faith seems more cruel than ever. Sometimes, it seems to be true that humans are the most evil living creature on earth......
