Rudy's death undoubtedly gave him a huge blow. He still chose to live and gave up his lover, and even obeyed the Nazis and destroyed the life of a young girl like a flower. He was afraid, and abandoned his personality for the sake of saying: "I must live". He is a person who can deceive himself very well. In Rudy's scream, he used "It isn't happening" to imply himself. If you do something wrong, you will use "I am rotten" to excuse yourself.
However, when Horst raised his eyebrows with his hand before he died, the defense line in his heart began to collapse little by little. The torture in his heart eats away everything in him, which is more terrifying than death. He can no longer hint himself, no longer willing to live. Finally, he put on the clothes that symbolized same-sex shame and ended his life.
