Know—Families who harbored Jews were taken to the camps as well, or sometimes, killed immediately upon being discovered.
(This next part you can literally write anything you want to know, there's not a right answer, but I'll give some examples).

Hope this helps!
Answer and Explanation:
The Pledge of Allegiance and the implementation of the national anthem in schools has been debated and discussed from time to time within American society.
Many people believe that imposing the execution of these two elements on students allows them to become patriots, to be proud of their country and to take responsibility for taking care of it. Although this is a very beautiful justification, in the real world it does not.
It is not right to make students swear to Allegiance and sing the national anthem as a way to make them patriotic. Patriotism is not built that way. Patriotism is built on experiences in a country that is well governed, managed and that provides all the elements necessary for each and every citizen to have an excellent quality of life. This can only be accomplished when politicians are charged and government officials are forced to promote socio-economic well-being.
In other words, children will be patriots when they do not have to witness situations of injustice and low quality of life and no oath or national anthem will change that.
This structure helps capture the reader's attention by creating suspense about his best friend. If the signs his friend had been leaving in the beginning were subtle to the narrator, they might not appear as anything out of the ordinary to the reader either. Reading about a bunch of non-important things that the narrator's friend did might not do much to engage the reader or make the story seem interesting at all. By starting with a major revelation though, it becomes clear that the reader should pay more interested attention to even the little things that the friend does.
