“Some of the young men forced her to sit down, tied her up and put a gag in her mouth. Silence again. The little boy sat down by his mother, crying. I had begun to breathe normally again" (Wiesel 20).
Prisoner Identification
The Nazis made Jewish prisoners get a tattoo of a certain number so they can know who is strong enough to move on to the next selection and who is not aloud to.
Crematorium
After the Nazis thought that a Jewish person was no longer useful to them they would put them into a crematorium as a way to get rid of them.
The Yellow Star
The Nazis made the Jewish community wear a star badge as a way to identify who was Jewish and who wasn't.
