Fatelessness - Chapters 8 & 9

Now, I'll answer some few questions about these two chapters, the final ones.

1. What was the setting in this Chapter ?
A Revier (similar to a hospital) in Buchenwald. The mood could be caring/taking care of the people in there.

2. How was  George’s treatment  when  he was recuperating ?Were the medics and nurses kind to the prisoners?
They treated him as if he wasn't a prisoner. They were kind with most of the patients, I'd say.

3. Why do you think that the author concentrated this Chapter in George’s treatment?
It must have been an important part for the author, during his life. He might have realized things that he hadn't realized before.

4. What were George’s feelings when the camp was liberated?
He felt free - for the first time in all his life.


5. What were the people reactions in George’s hometown when he came back ?
Mainly, curiosity. They asked about the exterminations and all the bad stuff that they knew that had happened in there.

6. When  the journalist offered George a job of  confessing what he had seen  in the concentration camp, how does it relate to the authors life ?
The author ended in writing a book, telling his story to the world, just the same as what the journalist wanted to do.

7. What did  George  realize at the end of the story? 
That it wasn't a bad experience to be in the camps. He made his best friends in there, and probably, it was one of the best moments of his life, at least, until then.


I really enjoyed this book, altough it was much more difficult than the last novel we read ("To Kill a Mockingbird"). But the difficulties are just part of the reading, but the important thing is to enjoy the book, and keep reading. And that's what I made, so I'm very pleased with it. It was a great experience to internalize some aspects of the Holocaust that I'd never thought before.
