Surviving the Concentration Camps
While in the concentration camps Jack experiences many horrible things that no teenager should go through. One of Jack’s first friends out of all the concentration camps he went to is Aron who helps him to survive. He was like Jack’s second dad. Moniek was a loyal companion to Jack. Although he had these good companions, he was faced with the daily struggle to stay alive. That meant doing whatever the guards told him to do and not breaking any of the rules.
When they heard planes flying over their heads they knew that it was the Polish Army and they thought that Hitler was being defeated, which he was. The guards all dropped their guns and started to walk out of the concentration camps. As soon as Jack and Moniek saw the German troops walk out they started to celebrate. They went over to the female concentration camps in Aushowitz and liberated them. It was then that Jack found out that his mom, dad, and sisters died in the Nazi Concentration Camps. All he had left was his Uncle Syngnment. Jack and Uncle Syngnment immigrated to America and ended up living in an apartment in Kansas City!
