“Very few of us still prayed” (Wiesenthal pg. 80).
The pathos of this statement is spilling out of the quotations. I feel automatic sympathy for the ones who lost their faith throughout their journey in these horrible concentration camps. The loss of faith at this time can tear a person apart; this also makes the reader think of the old women who said that "God is on leave." All the Jews who stopped praying at that time must have thought that God has abandoned them; what else would someone think?
dang Jocie, your so deep.
ReplyDeleteI like how you pulled in the pathos.
