1: well for one, based on the pidgeons not showing up one day and David's mopther's instinct, they avoided being shot, and lived longer. I think David's white pidgeon was sort of a symbol that was like a dove, like a sign that god was with his family, and the pidgeon was a symbol representing hope. The pidgeon also was a source of joy in a time of dispair for David, and at least i know i would have enjoyed having a pet.

2: As much as the exact opposite of a vacation the camp actually was, i think it referred to being one of the camps with better conditions, and it was probably eaiser there than at the other camps. Considering that his job at the camp was to chop trees, it was nothing compared to later experiences in the book with the other concentration camps he is sent to. it way have also been because there were less guards and fewer punishments in the vacation camp.

How has the experience of being in a concentration camp for so many years affected the way you see yourself and your loved ones?

How has your experience during the Holocaust affected your view of human nature?
