Homework: Parent/guardians. Please assist your child with today’s homework.

Option 3:  Read passage. Answer questions with complete sentences.

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: While the Jewish people are being tormented the German people are going on with their lives as if nothing is happening.

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.
