Homework: Parent/guardians. Please assist your child with today’s homework.
* ALL THE SKILLED WORKERS had already been sent to other camps. Only about a hundred of us,
simple laborers, were left…
At ten o'clock, we were handed our daily ration of bread. A dozen
or so SS surrounded us. At the gate, the sign proclaimed that work meant
freedom. We were counted. And there we were, in the countryside, on a sunny
road…
We were walking slowly. The guards were in no hurry. We were glad
of it. As we were passing through some of the villages, many Germans watched
us, showing no surprise. No doubt they had seen quite a few of these
processions...
On the way, we saw some young German girls. The guards began to
tease them. The girls giggled. They allowed themselves to be kissed and
tickled, bursting with laughter. They all were laughing, joking, and passing
love notes to one another. At least, during all that time, we endured neither
shouting nor blows.
After four hours, we
arrived at the new camp: Buna. The irongate closed behind us.
Task: Compare and contrast
the MOOD of the Jewish prisoners and the Germans in this passage. Give evidence
from the text to back up your points.

Take an educated guess, why do you thin the prisoners
were happy when the guards were not in a hurry?
3.
How were the German people behaving or acting as
the prisoners walked? Make a list of examples.
