Explanation:

Athenian democracy developed around the sixth century BC in the Greek city-state (known as a polis) of Athens, comprising the city of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica. Athenian democracy is often described as the first known democracy in the world. Other Greek cities set up democracies, most following the Athenian model, but none are as well documented as Athens' democracy.

Athens practiced a political system of legislation and executive bills. Participation was far from open to all residents, but was instead limited to adult, male citizens (i.e., not a foreign resident, regardless of how many generations of the family had lived in the city, nor a slave, nor a woman), who "were probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population".[1]

Solon (in 594 BC), Cleisthenes (in 508/7 BC), and Ephialtes (in 462 BC) contributed to the development of Athenian democracy. Cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived, rather than on their wealth. The longest-lasting democratic leader was Pericles. After his death, Athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the Peloponnesian War. It was modified somewhat after it was restored under Eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification, rather than the Periclean system. Democracy was suppressed by the Macedonians in 322 BC. The Athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable.

What horrific sight does Elie see as he and his father enter the first camp on their march to the barracks?
atroni [7]

Answer:

They saw truckloads of children, babies thrown into the fire, the crematorium, the burning pit.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" recounts his experience as a Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust that became one of the greatest genocide in the history of the world. This book also became one of the most important witness accounts of the historical disaster.

When they were taken to the camp at Birkenau, the men and women and children were separated. Elie and his father were taken to the left while women were taken to the right. This separation would be the last time he would ever see his mother and sister. And later on, after the medical inspection by <em>"the notorious Dr. Mengele"</em>, while walking they saw a truck full of children, babies being driven and thrown into the <em>"crematorium"</em>, a burning pit. Elie recounts how he saw <em>"A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small children. Babies!"</em> This was the horrific sight that he and his father along with the others saw on their march to the barracks in the first camp.
