SS-Totenkopfverbände

I was given an outfit I could only describe as... fallacious for a personal assistant. It was more like a SS guard’s cook outfit than a regular inmate’s. I worked there for as far longer than I wanted to, but that was true for all of Auschwitz. I worked there for about 2 years.

Would you be comfortable? That feeling is the exact feeling that the victims of the holocaust were experiencing during the periods they lived in the camps (Levine 350-360).

interpretations to her brutality? Although Irma Grese hadn’t spent much time being an SS Officer (SS is short for Schutzstaffel, which is German for “protective shield”), Grese chose to be cruel and sadistic toward the female prisoners.

The scanners show no activity for a distance of ten light years. A clean sweep. “I have become quite fond of your tea,” said Hitler, and Kristina blushes at the compliment from the Supreme Leader of God knew how many galaxies. Hitler was like a god in her eyes, though a stab of jealousy shot through her heart at the thought of his reuniting with

the contraction camps in so many ways. While reading this book I saw how they would help each other through the tough times. Elie and Elie’s father wouldn’t just think of themselves, they would of think of each other. In the concentration camps the SS men didn't feed them, and when they did it only was a little piece of bread or soup. “My father swallowed my
