However, the reader is exposed to the harsh, brutal truth of the lower-class society. Because George Wilson is a poor servant that has had little to eat in several days, we can not help but have sympathy for him. The upper-class is stuck up and oblivious to the needs and cares of their servants. However, those servants help with and take care of the needs of the other servants. While Wilson is on his way to see Mr. Carson, we learn that he is very hungry and hasn’t eaten in days.
She tells him she would come back for him and is then taken away with her parents in local street cars to an old bicycle stadium. All the Jewish families were rounded up in the old bicycle stadium but they did not know that it was just a temporary place for them to stay until they are sent to death camps. The Sarah and the other Jews stayed there for several days without food or water. After days of having to live in a stadium, families are transferred to the Beaune-la-Rolande, a transit deportation detention camp. Men and Women were first to be deported from Auschwitz; Sarah and the rest of the children were cruelly separated from their mother’s by the French police.
Comparison Paper Filip Muller, a Slovakian Jew, was born in Sered, Czechoslovakia, in 1922. In April, 1942 he was forcibly evacuated to Auschwitz I concentration camp with thousands of other Jews. Muller, like many others, was used as forced labor for about a one month period during which his health declined. One day he and his bunkmate, afflicted by thirst, sneaked to a feeding area and illicitly stole several drinks of tea.

That does not count the men who died when they were transferred over there when they no longer were able to work.

More than 132,000 women and children were incarcerated in Ravensbruck. At Ravensbruck, the women were tortured and used for “medical experiments”.
People are struggling to survive everyday because they have no food and shelter. These people may always dig through the trash to find something to eat for the day, not knowing if they will find anything. Families may always live in horrible conditions, having no other choice, because they do not have enough money. It’s extremely hard for them to find well paying jobs in these countries. For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out.

The Ausch Auschwitz was a crazy place. Jews, Gypsies (Roma), homosexuals, asocials, criminals, and prisoners of war were gathered, stuffed into cattle cars on trains, and sent to Auschwitz. When the trains stopped at Auschwitz II: Birkenau, the newly arrived were told to leave all their belongings on board and were then forced to disembark from the train and gather upon the railway platform, known as "the ramp." Families, who had disembarked together, were quickly and brutally split up as an SS officer, usually a Nazi doctor, ordered each individual into one of two lines. Most women, children, older men, and those that looked unfit or unhealthy were sent to the left; while most young men and others that looked strong enough to do hard labor
