Option 1- The significance of Night"
"Never shall I forget that night, that first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed…” Night is the time when the SS officers came for the Jews in the communities before they were evacuated to the concentration camps. The Jewish prisoners had gone on a long journey at night, running endlessly for miles. Also, it was a time when you could think about what was going on. The Jew’s are going through many things that are implausible and night is the time when they can mentally escape. With some exceptions, Night is when they could relax and didn’t have to work or worry about dying or how hungry they are. In addition, day and night are like black and white. Just like how their life’s had changed since they had arrived.Its significant how people usually sleep at night, and these guys are not sleeping. Overall, night is when Jew's escape and constipate all that is going on , it shows how everyone has changed since the concentration camps.

I think that at night is when it is their toughest time of day. As they fall asleep, they constantly think about their life and how it is going no where. They think about how hungry they are and they know that they could die very easily in their sleep. Night is when they worry the most and they get taken away from their house. The darkness of night represents the darkness of the Nazis and the Holocaust.
I think the opposite. Night is the time when the Jews can breathe and escape reality with their dreams. They can enjoy the rest because they know the next day will be even worse. During the night, the guards lay off the prisoners and they have time to act like people again. They can sleep and enjoy their time without doing anything.
