FOURTEEN : Kraus

Diligent workers are noticed by the society no doubt. The universal law in the world is that hard workers achieve higher goals. And as a result we come to the conclusion that hard work equals acknowledgment from those around us. In Auschwitz, everything is nothing. Prisoners aren’t acknowledged by how hard they work or how good their relationships are. No matter how hard they try, Jews are considered as Jews. That was how the Germans functioned. Stubborn indeed. This was the strength of propaganda. It destroys personal opinions and strength for objective critical views. The only factor that mattered in the concentration camps was whether you were worth manual labor. Humans are products in Auschwitz. If they find no use for the prisoners, they are exterminated. Kraus was a fool. He worked hard for nothing. Although it is heartbreaking to acknowledge this fact, Kraus was a fool for working hard in Auschwitz. No matter how hard he worked, he will nonetheless be a subject for execution.
