I learned that during the Holocaust like 5 million Jews were killed and like 17 million people were killed. The Germans didn't like Catholics, Hungarians, and especially Jews. They forced people to leave their home thinking they were just helping them but actually just sending them to concentration camps where they were immediately killed or sent to work camps. One of the most efficient ways they killed people was putting them into gas chambers, but told them they were going to take a shower, then they were suffocated. What really struck me the most was when they showed the baby stuff. Right when the babies arrived they were sent to die. What I thought was most powerful was when Elie said they weren't shocked by death anymore it was all around them. They didn't have to live with death, they lived in death. I didn't really learn anything I didn't already know. I would like to learn how Elie's trip went to the concentration camp and how he felt while he was coming, then once he got there. I know that the book is probably going to be very sad.
