Day 1:
Today, I went to school. I woke up when the rooster awoke me, and I first did all my chores. Afterwards, I had breakfast and walked to school. The teacher made us copy some words on our slates, and spell them out loud. Everyone did really well. For lunch, I went to the river with my friends. The teacher did not assign homework, and we got to go home early.
Day 2:
Today my chores were more difficult, because we are beginning to get ready for winter. At school, the teacher made us memorize some poems, and I was asked to help the smaller children with the words they did not know. I also stayed after school to help the teacher clean the classroom.
Day 3:
Today was Friday, which meant that we would study science. Therefore, we went to the river, and we looked at the fish and the other animals that lived there. The teacher then sat us on a circle in the forest and she talked to us about how all nature is connected. We then had lunch and came back to the classroom. Once in class, we wrote a paragraph about winter, and then we went home.
That would be a Represetantive Democracy.
Apart from the physical torture that they were submitted to, I believe the Jews were made to feel as if they weren't even human in the first place.
The phrase <em>Arbeit macht frei, </em>(which means <em>Work sets you free</em>), was often seen at the entrance of many concentration camps, and it summarizes the idea of having to be productive, in the way a machine would be, in order to one day prove to be worthy of the freedom that they were robbed of. I believe this would lead to feelings of despair, deep sadness, and anger towards their abusers, and the frustration of being unable to work more and more, as their health deteriorated progressively.
For me, a person's value goes beyond the material aspect of what they can produce. Even in today's context, people are way more than the money on their bank account or their possessions, they have an intrinsic value as a human being, with their own perspective of the world and principles on which they base their lives.
