Chp 6Quote-"Pitch darkness. Every now and then, an explosion in the night. They had orders to fire on any who could not keep up. Thier fingers on the triggers, they did not deprive themselves of this pleasure. If one of us stopped for a second, a sharp shot finished off another filthy son of a bitch."(wiesel page 91)

Analysis-It shows how depressed everything was back then. It also is giving hints that the war is coming to a close. This means no more war in germany.

Chp 5
Quote-"On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the last day of that accursed year, the whole camp was electric with the tension which was in all our hearts. In spite of everything, this day was different from any other. The last day of the year. The word last rang very strangely. What if it were indeed the last day?"(wiesel page 73)

Analysis-The eve of Rosh Hashanah if the same as new years eve for us. They thought it was the end of them but it wasn't. It turned out to be the beginning of the war being over.
