As punishment, Idek is publicly humiliated and beaten by Elie and the other prisoners. This incident highlights the dehumanizing and chaotic nature of life in the concentration camps, where even the prisoners themselves are capable of inflicting harm on one another.

The people of Sighet were not afraid because they believed that the Fascists would not get any closer than Budapest.

During the time when the Jews were relocated to the ghettos, Elie and his family managed to stay in their own house. This suggests that they were not immediately affected by the forced relocation and were able to remain in their familiar surroundings. It also implies that they may have had some level of privilege or protection that allowed them to remain in their own home while others were being crowded into small apartments or facing other hardships.Rate this question:

A. Lie about their agesExplanation
In Auschwitz, lying about their ages would have been a survival strategy for Elie and his father.

A. Work in the crematoriaExplanation
The correct answer is "work in the crematoria." The Sonder-Kommando were Jewish prisoners who were forced to work in the crematoria of Nazi death camps during the Holocaust. Their job was to dispose of the bodies of those who were killed in the gas chambers and to operate the crematoria.

The correct answer is "all of these choices".

(Night) Elie was surprised when the French girl he worked with at the warehouse:
-
Told him she loved him
-
Spoke German to him
-
Spoke French to him
-
Told him she could pass for Aryan
Correct Answer
A. Spoke German to himExplanation
In the book "Night", Elie was surprised when the French girl he worked with at the warehouse spoke German to him. This is unexpected because Elie and the girl are both from France, so it is unusual for her to speak a different language to him. It suggests that the girl may have some connection or familiarity with the German language, which could be significant considering the historical context of the book, set during the Holocaust. The fact that she spoke German to Elie could indicate that she had some knowledge or interaction with the German soldiers or authorities, which adds intrigue to the story.Rate this question:
