Quiz:
1. As the prisoners enter the camp, the first thing that happens is all of their belongings and personal items are taken from them. Then, each prisoner is given their own number to which they are recognized by. By those numbers, German soldiers are able to spot out the weak links and write them down. Next, the prisoners either work or are sent to Dr. Mengele to be experimented on. From then they work and try to not become weak or they would be killed.
2. Though the treatment harshens at Birkenau, one thing remains the same. The Jews continue to believe in their religion. Although at one point in the story it was questioned when the child was hung, it was clear that the Jews were really counting on god to get them out of this situation.
3. One uncertainty the Prisoners face at the camp is what their fate is to be. Many of the Prisoners did not know whether or not they were going to be chosen for Mengeles selection. They became very uncertain when the checkup came and many were not sure if they were healthy and strong enough to last the selection. Another uncertainty the prisoners have at the camp is how to act around the guards and soldiers. The slightest move could set the guards off which would result in violent beatings.
4. When Eliezer and his father first arrive in the camp, they meet this young Polish guard who treats them with some kindness. Eliezer even says that its the first human words he heard since he got to the camp. Throughout their time at the camp, it seems as if the guards get more and more violent. For example, one of the most violent guards they encountered was Idek. He beat Eliezer and his father for sometimes no reason and the beatings would not stop.
