All I can think is, how will possibly be able to finish this essay in a reasonable amount of time, so I can get some sleep. Upon further thinking, I know that sleep is already out of the question.

The readers are never told a definitive reason as to why she did it. There is plenty of speculation in the novel that it was Vladek’s fault, Artie’s fault, or the fact that she was a survivor.
