Quote-"At the beginning of the third week, the prisoner in charge of our block was deprived of his office, being considered too humane. Our new head was savage, and his assistants were real monsters. The good days were over. We began to wonder if it would not be better to let oneself be chosen for the next move."(page 52,53 wiesel)

               Analysis-It means that because he was to nice they got rid of him. Thier new head is not so nice along with his minions.

             Quote2-"In the evening, lying on our beds, we would try to sing some of the Hasidic melodies, and Akiba Drummer would break our hearts with his deep, solemn voice."(page 53 wiesel)

             Analysis-I feel that the jews where singing to calm and sooth each other. Also to keep thier religious beliefs in this dark time of thier lives.
