Final Romek Post

1) The most shocking part for me would probably when the people that were still alive in the camp that David was in that they started to eat the flash of the dead people. Even though I would be starving to death I would never eat flesh of a human, I would have probably done what the doctor told David to and eat grass.

2) The job David got at the Krawinkel helped him survive and regain a little strength because he got a job feeding the German Shepard dogs. There he only had to feed the dogs three times a day with out being supervised so he ate some of the dog food and didn't have to work as much. He also helped his friends by bringing some of the dog biscuits to them so they could eat a little more but all that ended when he was switched to the belsen camps.

3) The conditions were really bad towards the end of the war because no one had any more strength to pull the dead bodies to the ovens and then the Germans stopped feeding the people and then the people just started to starve to death and that's when things got desperate and people started eating the dead but the sad part is most of the people who ate the dead died the next day. The thing that helped him was talking to the doctor.

4)I guess he felt very joyful when the soldiers went into his barrack to help, especially when the soldier saved David by getting the medical teams. The triumph he got was probably when he was in the hospital thinking that he survived and kept his promise to his mother. The pride he felt when he could actually do a favor in return for the people who saved him.

5) David Faber's book, Because of Romek, should be required reading in all middle schools, high schools, and universities because all students need to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust. People need to know what exactly what the German people did because most books do not explain this passionately what happened and also this wasn't just facts this is some who experienced the horrible holocaust fist hand for years.
