In spite Eliezer and his sister were offered a way out to escape by his previous maid, they did not accept the offer as family always stick together instead they took a correct, decisive action and for that reason they survived the first part of the perturbation of the situation they were in. “I’m too old my son, I’m too old to start a new life. I’m too old to start from scratch again in a country so far away.” (Wiesel 6) As a family they stuck together and followed their instinct until their arrival at Auschwitz , Elie and his sister made the right decision even though no one was there to advise them. When they were taken to Auschwitz a person told them not to conceal their real age, so when the SS officer questioned their age the father mentioned that he was 40, while he was actually 50, and Eliezer mentioned that he was 18,but he was actually 15. “Didn’t you know what was in store for you at Auschwitz? Haven’t you hear about it? In 1944?” (Wiesel 30) He also had to take correct, decisive actions because they had to lie about their age so they can stay together during the time they were in the hell city, the worst concentration camp of all time. However they split up the men and women. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that

Dr. Josef Mengele wasn’t just known for deciding people’s fate with his main pointing finger, but he was also known for the number of barbaric medical experiments that he did on children and sometimes adults. Wanting to find the secrets of heredity, he’d ask SS officers to see if they could find anyone with unusual traits, including twins, whenever a new group of cattle cars loaded with prisoners arrived at Auschwitz. Although, when twins were usually found at camps such as Auschwitz, they usually turned out to be orphans. Therefore, many children, especially the one’s with unusual traits, had frequently witnessed the murder of their beloved

Luckily for Eva Kor and Dr. Mengele, not only did the twin girl survive, but she forgave Mengele – perhaps it is people like these who truly frighten Mengele back into hiding. Among other experiments, Mengele also decided to do some research on a disease called Noma that was rare, but usually occurred in gypsies. “At one point, Mengele had two of the Gypsy children killed so that he could examine their detached heads.” (Cefrey 87) It is important to note that Mengele preferred children as patients or guinea pigs; while the reason is mysterious it could be assumed due to children being naïve or easier to obtain than adults (especially twins) and could be easily ripped away from parents.
