George McDuffie is a South Carolina governor on 1834 to 1836. On his 1835 speech regarding slavery and explained why slavery must not be ruled out in two points: (1) his racial argument is that African-Americans are born to be slaves because of their physical attributes which was evidently shown with their skins. He said that it is useless to gain power if you have an inferior skin; and (2) his religious argument is that God decided to make African-American slaves when he created them and that there is nothing they can do about it.
The armistice of 31 October 1918 ended the fighting between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies but did not bring stability or peace to the region. ... The Young Turk government led by Enver Pasha had collapsed in the days leading up to the armistice
Remember that Eliezer and his father were sent off to Auschwitz, which as commonly known today is a death camp. To determine whether they go to Auschwitz or Birkenau (the labor camp next to Auschwitz), they were asked for some of the following things:
1) Age
2) Occupancy
3) Health condition
4) (i believe there might be more) etc.
Each of these determine if they can work, and depending on what they answer, they were either sent directly to the death camp, or were sent to the labor camp.
Now, to answer the question, they were told to lie about their ages so that they would have a higher survivability rate.
hope this helps
