Final Romek Post

1. The part that I found the most horrifying was when David Faber found the little baby girl in the gas chamber and tried to get her to the woman camp so that the baby could be saved. Then the Nazi officer saw him and threw the poor baby into the oven. After he killed the baby he beat up David. I found that so horrifying. I couldn't understand that a man grown man would kill a poor baby. I feel so sad thinking that the baby never was able to to grow up or take her first steps.

2. At Krawinkel Camp David was in charge of feeding the dogs. The good thing was that we was able to eat the dog food so that helped make him stronger also the job kept him out of the coal mines and other hard jobs.

3.It was terrible. When David got there he had to pick up dead bodies and put them into the oven. And his pay was a tiny bit of cold soup. Soon David starts to get sick and he begins to bleed and get really high fevers. To his lucky he met a doctor in the camp that told him a remedy that stopped him for bleeding, but that was the only good thing. Soon people started to eating the flesh of the dead bodies, yet David could not bring himself to do it.

4. When the troops invaded the camp David finally was free. He was able to fullfill his promise to his mother. So that made him feel a little bit happy. Also the fact that he was really living didn't hurt either. I think he was proud when robbed the german family because he was able to hurt a germans a little bit.

5. I think that because of Romek is a must read for middle school and high schools. This book shows you the horrors of the Holocaust in a completly different ways. When Mr. David Faber came to my school he said that many people try to deny that millions of Jews were killed. But thanks to him he's is able to tell the truth. When David Faber talked to my school I felt that I was really there during the Holocuast. He even decribes it even better in the book. I feel that this book should be required to read, but I also think that they can have the choice to not read a certain part.
