Source B gives us an idea of the horror and misery the Jews who were being gassed went through and an idea of what it would of looked like to see the remains of the dead bodies after they were all murdered.

Hitler deliberately expressed his hate toward Jews and gave ample warnings, as it was all written down in his autobiography “Mein Kampf”. In 1935, the introduction of the Nuremberg Laws stripped German Jews of their citizenship and civil rights. Jewish rights were steadily restricted, as in many cases Jewish political and intellectual leaders were the first to be sent to concentration camps. The Night of Broken Glass, on November 9, 1938 lead to the death of approximately 100 Jews, while other 30,000 were sent to concentration camps. Jewish businesses along with almost every synagogue in Germany were damaged or completely destroyed.
John: A man with a tragic life In The Painted Door, by Sinclair Ross, John is more deserving of sympathy than his wife Ann because despite the fact that he both provided for her and was loyal to her, Ann chose to be unfaithful to him. Firstly, John always made sure that Ann had everything that she needed, and in spite of Ann acknowledging this, she chose to betray him by sleeping with another man. Before John went into the storm, Ann assured herself, “’Plenty to eat – plenty of wood to keep me warm – what more could a women ask for?’’ (96) This quote proves that Ann has conceded the fact that John has provided her with everything she needs, and also shows the degree of John’s care for her. However, Ann chose to ignore his efforts and cheat on him. Some may argue that John did not care for Ann’s love as he always left her alone, however that act broke John’s heart, as he chose to go face a snowstorm rather than confront Ann with his feelings after the incident, an act that ultimately led to his death.

Debate Paper HAS 3104 April 15, 2012 According to "MedicineNet" (1996-2012), Assisted Suicide is “the deliberate hastening of death by a terminally ill patient with assistance from a doctor, family member, or another individual” (Definition of Assisted suicide). Many of us when we think about assisted suicide go directly to the one person who was most talked about in 1990’s Dr. Jack Kevorkian, it is said that this specific doctor made death his specialty. He became widely known for his “death machine” a device he invented that allowed a user to self-inject an anesthetic and then a lethal dose of potassium chloride. (He called the machine a thanatron, after Thanatos, the figure of death in Greek mythology.) ("Who 2 Biographies", 2011).
The Holocaust ruined numerous lives, including that of Evelyn Roman, who wrote “Aftermath”: a sorrowful poem that described her feelings about the concentration camps. Wiesel and Roman both share different and insightful outlooks about their experiences in the toughest part of their lives. They still remember a great deal of details “fifty years after the fact…” that they wish could vanish in an instant (1). Wiesel and Roman wondered every minute why they endured those experiences: no human deserves the horror they survived. Knowing that someone actually lived these stories made it almost unbearable to
The book Night by Elie Wiesel tells the horrifying story of the Holocaust through Wiesels eyes. In 1944 Elie and his family were taken from their home Auschwitz. Night is the terrifying story of his memories of the death his family, the loss of his innocence and faith in God. Based on what I read in Night, things of value will always change. The valuable things that Elie cherished in the life before the Holocaust were very different, than those after and during his time in the camps.
