Option #1 choice #2 How do the concentration camps change the Jews attitude

In the beginning of the novel, the jews were happy and content with how they lived. After passover, the Germans made the Jews wear the yellow star and divided the town into two ghettos. Two weeks later they were evacuated and sent to Auschwitz. Their names were changed into numbers, elkminating classes or different types of people; no one judged you because of what you looked like or how rich you were: everyone was the same and no one was an individual. They were a thing that was killed because of what they blieved in. Their attitudes changed because of the creatoriums and seeing one another being killed. They questioned God's absolute justice, some denying his existance. The Jews began not caring for each other, turning their backs on one another for food and water. In the camps, you could not trust anyone, and if someone saw you with a piece of bread, you would most likely get mauled and killed for a bite. Humanity forgotten, Jewish imates behaved like animals in order to survive.
