Chapter 17 question
How would you feel if you were the last one left in a destroyed ghetto. You managed to come so far and all of a sudden a German soldier is hovering over you asking why your searching for food. Szpilman just stood there not knowing what to do, it was too late to run, he had no other option. What would you do if you were stuck in that position?

At that point i would honestly tell him to shoot me. i would not find any other reason for living because what is the point of staying alive if your the only one left and you are suffering day by day. i would rather fust end my life than suffer more. nothing would be worth fighting for anymore if you were the only one left.
ReplyDeleteI would tell the German soldier the truth that I was a Jew. I wouldn't even try to make something up because I have already been through too much. There would be no point in trying to lie and stay alive because I would suffer trying to stay alive anyway. I would have also lost everyone I loved too so it would't even really matter to me to keep trying to survive.
