We were all in the attic, and in the still proneness of the night the watchfulness of the night sends us into the silence was suddenly broken by the fact that we were being shot at losing part of a wood attic hatch. That meant, it was their worst nightmare already. Those the charismaticgrav men in blackare the most visible guys. They are everywhere on biking trails and along the road. They are without exception, speaking German, acting ruthless and their eyes mean nothing but pointing towards their pistols. It is this Nazi brutality that drives them in a merciless exploration of anyone of the kind "unwanted" so they can become the slaves for the "Masters". Which means that this spells out death sentence for a lot of innocent people

Malenky slovo, which is mentioned in the voice of the survivor counts as well as for those who could not run away. People who succeeded in hiding their identity now end up in the streets that changed from the hostility to being poured out with the machine gun bullets. TV stations cameramen and reporters waiting forure scenes to unfold. The very first seconds of agonizing near shut-eye brings the anticipation of the terrible outcome –one which scares to death at a far worse kind than the richest dream could only afford.

What comes next is a mad maze out of which desperate people know they may not flee unless they are among the chosen few and the mood changes on highly placed. These people were no better off who were not any more fortunate. For those from other parts of the empire, thereby the following was the very concentration camp, but certainly with the senseless frozen death awaiting them.

Being smack-bang between the walls of a van and quite possibly without one molecule of grass in sight, deprived of 90% of all human privileges, prisoners spend a ruthless trip that reduces them to a worthless item. Things like families, communities and friends acquire a significant role in a person's life when all the rights are taken away from the group and their lives are completely ruled by the tyranny of genocidal rule.

There is an indefinite chill that shivers down my spine as I keep getting off the train. By freshly, I mean I too can't comprehend myself or I don't have any consciousness of the thinking process my mind is going through. They give this poor character up with these monstrous and they act in that way to be readied for to the realm of degradation and hopelessness that come next. They are deprived of their personalities, they are brought out of their privacy and they are left behind only with similarly tested entries, with them, they face a cruel immolation torture by officials.

A person who lives in the free barbed-wire environment has himself to depend to a wider link for survival and there are countless of deprivation, illness and unmerciful cruelty. And through their traumatized pursuit, they enjoy working in miserable working conditions, be thrown to the depths of the longing for medical care even a little they have and the whole day has now turned into such an uphill battle with so many obstacles.

The shared normal of a camp necessitates from the captives the morning roll call, forced job and the exceeding miserly food rations. But beating hearts in all the darkness shudder with terror, distress and eventually resistance, always giving up a right amount of light, which is hope for them through faith, traditions and some freedom.

Despite all the wars and horrors, a sign of always featuring in human history—winning does, but it defends people to this present time. The walls of the prison do not stop people from creating poems, writing, dramas, and flying the banners of resistance. This preserves the dignity of the inmates even amidst the worst of times.

With this, there is a giving way for the door of hope but the Holocaust wounds get more reinforced for them forever. Life often demonstrates to us, that even the most fierce people are not as powerful as to survive the experience of a life-altering incident. Unfortunately, we tend to face the hardest task of picking up all the pieces and walking as if through life with a ghost of unbearable pain on our backs.

It is one of the most terrifying aspects of the Holocaust that the inhabitants of camps went from being normal humans to the people who killed each other in such a brutal manner that it became the bloodiest war ever. This message had a loud cautionary voice that the youth should hear of the frightening face of the ugliness of prejudice and bias. When night takes over and all the dark forces come out to play, the light of memory and renewal continue to shine brightly because in those really dark times they represent a piece of light.
