knew how
harsh
Dachau
was he
would
have
definitely
run
away. The
secret
of
the real
concentration
camps
seemed
to
be
hidden behind the wire
just
like
the prisoners.
Thaler
describes
a
man
that
he meets
early
off
in
his
journey who
is naked
and
cramped
in
a
little,
dark,
cold
cage.
When the
bomb
alarms go
off
everyone flees, but this man
can't
because
he is
imprisoned
and
can't
get out
of
his
cage.
Thaler
never
had
much
room
either. Thaler
writes
about long
train
rides crouched
in
a
corner,
trying to
avoid
getting
trampled,
or
people
urinating
and
defecating. The biggest
imprisonment
though, was the
figurative
cage
around
him, holding him
back
from
doing
what
he
wants,
from
being his
own
person.
Thaler wasn't ailowed to
practice his
religion
because
it
wasn't
the
"right"
way.
In
conclusion
it
is un-humane
to put
someone
in
a
real
cage,
or behind
barbed
wires
etc.,
and
cruel
to hold
someone
back
from
being
him
or herself.
Something that helped
Thaler
live
was
his friends.
A
well-known
Beatles
song
sings,
"oh
I
get
by
with
a
little
help
from my friends."
In
Thaler's
case
he survives
with
a
little
help from
his
friends.
Thaler's
friends
are
the
ones
who
forced
him
to
keep
moving,
and
helped his
walk
when
he
was
about
to
fall.
When
Thaler
and
the
rest
of
his prisoners
and guards
were
walking
to the camp
in
France, Thaler thought that his
life
was over,
but
with
the encouragement
of
his
dear
friends,
he
built
up enough
courage and
strength
to
move
on. Though he stumbied sometimes
and
fell,
his
friends
were always
right
beside
him helping
him
up. Even
if
you aren't
in
as
much
trouble
as
Thaler
was,
your friends
will
help
you through
drama at
school,
or
a
loved
one
dying.
I
wouldn't
be
the
same
without my
friends, they
bring
out
a
lot
of my personality, not
always
positive, but
without
them
I
wouldn't
be
as
interesting.
Another
help
this
Thaler
had was
his
firm
belief
in
fate.
This
gave
him
hope
in
courage.
Overall
I
think
friends
are one
of
the most
important
things
to
have because
they always
have
your
back,
and
will
aid you
through
your
life.
Unforgotten
explains
a
lot
about what
happened
during
World
War
II
and
the
Holocaust,
but it
never
states
the
causes.
This
is
why
I
will
be
writing
about
the
main
causes
of World
War
II
and
the Holocaust.
Most
people
think,
"Oh
the main
cause
of
the
Holocaust
was
Hitler."
That is false though,
because
it
wasn't only
Hitler
that
made
the
Holocaust.
It
was
all of
the
Nazi's
and
everyone
who voted for
him.
Some
of
the
causes
of
World
War
II
included
other countries
wanting
revenge on the
Germans
for
