Refugee lifestyleI did it! I got him through the fence! Hopefully Hungary will be the place to stop all this running and start an actual life. My feet are very sore, I am barely able to walk. My arms feel like they are about to fall off. My legs are bleeding, aching and full of cuts from the barbed wire fences. I almost lost my wife and now I fear for my child. It’s not fair! My family did nothing wrong! I wonder how it feels like to be safe. Being able to peacefully walk through the streets, knowing that your family is safe and healthy. How people can come home from work and know that your wife is at home preparing dinner. These might all be fantasies, but some day it must be a reality. The rest stop is close, hopefully so will my home.

'Night' Monologue
We had been walking for hours on end. Everybody's face was dripping with sweat and tears. My mouth was like a desert that has not had water in years. We were nearing train tracks. I had heard people say that there was a cattle car waiting, that would get us out of here. When we got to the tracks they split us up into different groups. 'My group' so to say was the first to get on. As I got on I remember the space between people getting smaller and smaller. There was at least 80 people in the car. We were all stuffed with holes in the container to let the oxygen in. I heard one of the soldiers tell the conductor to go. I could feel the cattle car move from its place. Nobody shifted due to the amount of people in the car. While eating my piece of bread i was procrastinating the thought of road ahead of me.

Can good people do bad things?
![Foto](/uploads/9/4/5/1/94513805/published/good-people-bad_2.jpg?1485259591)
This is a very complex question, and a conversation about it can go on for ever. But what i would like to explore in this question, during the Peace & Conflict unit. Is what can lead to people doing this, and if they realize they are doing it.
Never shall I forget...
Never shall I forget how they abused my faith and beliefes.
Never shall I forget promising people it will be ok, knowing I can't keep it.
Never shall I forget the sound of people crying as the bombs continue dropping.
Never shall I forget walking into the hospital for a small cut, and walking out moments later with fear and disbelief in my eyes.
Never shall I forget the moment they ripped me out of my mothers arms.
Never shall I forget denying the war had gotten to an end after all.
Never shall I forget seeing my friends for the first time in in 15 years, thinking they had died all along.
Never shall I forget promising people it will be ok, knowing I can't keep it.
Never shall I forget the sound of people crying as the bombs continue dropping.
Never shall I forget walking into the hospital for a small cut, and walking out moments later with fear and disbelief in my eyes.
Never shall I forget the moment they ripped me out of my mothers arms.
Never shall I forget denying the war had gotten to an end after all.
Never shall I forget seeing my friends for the first time in in 15 years, thinking they had died all along.

Why did Elie Wiesel wait as long as he did to write the story?
I think Eli Wiesel waiting so long to write his book 'Night' because he needed time to process what he has seen and been through, especially since he was so young at the time. Another reason why he waited so long to tell his story is because he wanted the next generation to hear what happened. He told the next generation because he does not want history to repeat itself, by telling the next generation he shows them how tragic it was. And because he wanted people to remember the lives lost during WWII in the Holocaust.
