"We're all dead"

Sol's most striking sentence - "We are all dead".

Stubborn in order to bury his son, he killed people, almost killed the doctor who helped him, saved people, affected the uprising plan of his companions, and was in danger. Sol's cellmates couldn't help but ask, for a dead person, you are so disregarding the life of a living person?

"We are all dead." Indifferently, he explained exactly this character and the massacre.

real history:

1. In the Nazi concentration camps, the population density is high, but the possibility of losing and changing the package is extremely small. Rolling names and checking the number of people are extremely important tasks. The number is stabbed on the skin. , people who accidentally "died in the fire" have to undergo a final check even if they are body parts.

2. As busy as the film is, it should be in the middle and late stages of the war, the SS needs to complete the "cleanup" faster, and the concentration camps are busier. The workers who shovel coal are to burn the corpses day and night, pull out the gold teeth from the naked corpses of the inmates with big pliers, and bathe the inmates in order to send him into the "bathroom". The concentration camp was a large factory, an elaborate, circular job of Jewish destruction of Jews. The SS was the director, and the execution was largely undertaken by the Jews.

3. Revolution is a kind of hope, and the burial of a son is a kind of sustenance. What was life to the Jews in the concentration camps? Except for the parties, there is no solution. They yearn to live and are not so afraid of death. The survivors of the concentration camp, all liberated by the Allies after the defeat of the Nazis, had almost no fugitives. One is that it is difficult to escape, the other is that the will to escape is not strong, and the other is that the Nazis want to dig into the ground to kill people and cover up atrocities. In fact, the inmates don't care about Sol's hindrance and bizarreness as much as the audience. "We are all dead" everyone knows.

Auschwitz to this day has only those mountains of clothes and shoes as relics to prove the massacre, and most of the victims were left with no trace. This is the characteristic of the anti-Semitic Holocaust. It is not a confrontation with the bottomless and brutal human nature, but on the shoulders of modern civilization, which is now indifferent and efficient, and has even been exploited by several psychopaths with the setting of "realizing a perfect society". On the battlefield of that massacre, the target was "all dead" as soon as they entered.
