Wiesel tells Oprah that: Before they were mass murdered, the Jews had been told they would be resettled in Eastern Europe.

The families arrived at Auschwitz with their most precious belongings stored in suitcases. On the outside of each case, the unsuspecting owners wrote their names and dates of birth believing that their things would be returned.

But nothing is further from reality, because the systematic process of determining who would live and who would die was known as "selection". The SS officers briefly evaluated each arrival.

Those considered capable of forced labor, such as 15-year-old Elie Wiesel and her father, entered the labor camp. All the others were sent immediately and unknowingly on the way to the four gas chambers of Auschwitz.

The people selected to die were told that they were receiving showers, and then they were sent to the cameras by the thousands. Bins of the deadly chemical Zyklon B were thrown in. As the toxic granules mixed with the air, cyanide gas was released. Death took about 15 minutes to arrive and it felt like suffocation.

The dreadful task of burning the corpses in underground furnaces was left to the Jewish prisoners. Forced into this horrible work, they temporarily evaded their own death.

even though they were highly influenced by Egyptian culture, in what ways were the kushites able to hold on to their own politic

MrMuchimi

Here this might help you....
Even though they were influenced by Egypt, this country had its own culture. They still had strong rulers who were females. They also had their own way of making pyramids

and this to....
The Kushites controlled the army once they had conquered Egypt and the Kushite king Piankhy became Pharaoh; the Kushites always provided the major portion of the army during a subsequent series of wars with Assyria for the control Syria.

The Kushites were a warrior society, so that's how their soldiers were organized and fought, whereas Egyptian soldiers were professional regulars, a standing army.

Egyptian military commanders were basically Kushite puppets, so there was some strain in the relationship between the Kushite part of the army and the essentially subject Egyptian contingent, as the Kushites always made sure they had the upper hand during the 90 years or so of Kushite rule.
