Not far from us, flames were leaping up from a ditch, gigantic flames. They were burning something. A lorry drew up at the pit and delivered its load-little children. Babies! Yes I saw it. (Page 30)
-Elie Wiesel
While reading this book I was thinking about all the stories I’ve herd about the holocaust, but right then when I read this part in the book all the stories became oblivious in my mind…and knowing that Elie as 14 year old kid was already familiar with death and more, seeing the bodies being burned and throne into a pit. This part that I read is going to stay in mind, but one question I have is, how does he survive?
