group reader response LC #1


Before the Jewish people got to Auschwitz, they thought that being deported was a good thing because they thought that they were going to be safe. On page 18 someone said “who knows? Perhaps we are being deported for our own good. The front isn’t very far off; we shall soon be able to hear the guns. And the civilian population would be evacuated anyway….” Another person on the train said “if you ask me, the whole business of deportation is just farce. Oh yes, don’t laugh. The boches just want to steal our jewelry. The know we’ve buried everything, and they’ll have to hunt for it: it’s easier when the owners are on a holiday….” On the train the probably said that to lighten up the mood and possibly said why they are being moved.
