Here are a few questions to consider. Perhaps pick one or two and offer your comments:
1. Who is Dr. Mengele? What role does he have at Auschwitz?
2. Why did Elie’s father wish that Elie had gone with his mother instead?
3. Comment on this metaphor, "Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever."
4. The sign over their next camp, Auschwitz, read, ‘Work is Liberty’. What is so ironic about this slogan?
5. Why did Elie regard Auschwitz as better than Birkenau?
6. Who are Yossi and Tibi? What happened to their parents?
7. Who is Idek? What did he do to Elie? Who tried to comfort Elie; why?
8. What did Franek, the foreman do in order to get Elie’s gold crown?
