Abby, you make a very good statement by saying that the Holocaust was a terrible event in world history. For one, the Jews did not even deserve to be tortured and killed because they did not even do or say anything to offend Hitler; for he just hated them and the religion for unreasonable reasons. And for the Nazis to support Hitler aren’t any better than Hitler himself. They followed his commands, and agreed with them; knowing already what the outcome would be. To answer your question about the cost of lives, Abby, I would say that dying from murder would be even worse. The reason for that is that person would be forced to die; which I think that should never happen. Death should happen for a certain reason, and by force, accident, or planned murder should not be the right way to pass away.
The death of Eliezer’s father was quite depressing, I agree, which is why I too think it is the worst part of the book. Although it is quite redundant to what you said, but Eliezer and his father tried so hard to keep each other together; considering they already lost 2 other members of their family at the beginning of their journey at the concentration camps. I honestly felt really bad for Eliezer because he became lost and unstable. He almost felt like he didn’t know what to do and he couldn’t go on. Although, part of him did feel like he could be better without his father, he felt devastated that he had to leave behind most of his life with his father.
As I said before, this event was one of the many cruel events that ever occurred in world history, and I honestly hope an event such as this one does not happen again. To answer your question Abby, I do not think the world learned their lesson quite yet. What I mean is that everywhere around the world, there is still some mistreatment of citizens by police officials; which is similar to the Nazis and the Jews; but on broader terms.
