While reading the book i came up with a few questions that I just couldn't figure out the answer. The first is why do the Jews let the German soldiers stay in their home and not be bothered by it. If i had men suddenly come into my town and live in my house i wouldn't have that. The Jews in the book aren't really bothered by the Germans entering there home at all and almost like having the company. In the book one of the lines was "the fascists were already in power, the verdict was already out, and the Jews of Sighet were still smiling." How were these people still smiling when the Germans are taking over there town and shipping them out of there town.
My second question was while the Jews were in camp why didn't they seem angry with the way they are living. If i was put in the situation where I am forced to leave my town, be shipped to a labor camp and get a bowl of soup and bread each day to live in a cell i would not be happy. The Jews don't seem happy but they are not revolting or acting out or even trying to get a better life style. They seem content with their new life and have accepted it.
