Answer:We don’t use this much nowadays — dictionaries usually tag it as archaic or literary — except in the set phrase make the welkin ring, meaning to make a very loud sound.

What supposedly rings in this situation is the vault of heaven, the bowl of the sky, the firmament. In older cosmology this was thought to be one of a set of real crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if you made enough noise.

The word comes from the Old English wolcen, a cloud, related to the Dutch wolk and German Wolke. Very early on, for example in the epic poem Beowulf of about the eighth century AD, the phrase under wolcen meant under the sky or under heaven (the bard used the plural, wolcnum, but it’s the same word). Ever since, it has had a strong literary or poetic connection.

It appears often in Shakespeare and also in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales: “This day in mirth and revel to dispend, / Till on the welkin shone the starres bright”. In 1739, a book with the title Hymns and Sacred Poems introduced one for Christmas written by Charles Wesley that began: “Hark! how all the welkin rings, / Glory to the King of kings”. If that seems a little familiar, it is because 15 years later it reappeared as “Hark! the herald-angels sing / Glory to the new born king”.

2. The whole Nazi environment probably aided to these Sonderkommandos becoming collaborators, from seeing everyone around you either fleed, killed or tortured is enough to make people to make choices like that. It was a live or die situation and under those circumstances, anything could happen.

3. Levi and Langer want us to see this situation from the Sonderkommandos point of view, where virtue and morality don't apply and the only choice is to kill/ follow the Nazi orders or be killed. They probably thought that by taking on this task there was a chance of survival.

4. The choices that we make help us to develope as person and in our personal identity, and in the absence of meaningful choices it can confuse us in our identities, and can lead us to make critical descisions.
