Chapter 16. The Last One

What are men capable of doing ...
This chapter makes me wonder again ... "Exactly to what extent are men capable of or incapable of doing something?"
I think this question was answered in this chapter. The man who revolted had a limit to what he was able to do, but he still fought boldly. The SS men who put him on trial and killed him were ignorant, which again shows the extent of what men are able to do ... Who are we to have the rights to kill someone else's life? Who are we to judge others?

Every men has limits, and sometimes I wonder, if the Germans knew what they were doing ...
If truly the SS soldier did not have ANY symapathy for the 6 millions Jews who were murdered in Auschwitz, I believe they were the one's who were considered 'inhumane'. So far, I have referred to Jews and other prisoners in camp as being detached from the real world, but now it seems as though the real people who were deprived from 'reality' were the SS men and the Aryan race. They were the people who were truly blinded from what's real.
