alex41 [277]3 years ago
6 0

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

Going all the way back to when humans had to hunt for survival, the spirit of improvement lead to the development of the spear over the club, the arrow over the spear, the hunting rifle over the arrow and so on and so forth. By improving on concepts and ideas we move society and humans forward. When it came to the industrial revolution, the spirit of innovation led to things like the assembly line which revolutionized the speed at which products were developed. The spirit of improvement was an essential component of the industrial revolution because without the desire to improve our lives we would still be hunting with clubs.</span>
