Humanity

The cattle cars are a clear indication of how little the Germans are concerned for the Jewish peoples well-being. The Jews were no longer treated like human beings, nor did they behave as such. They were prisoners. Crammed within the dark confines of the cattle car with little food and water, they waited in fear. They didn't know what they were waiting for, nor where they were headed, but they held on to what little hope was left. There was no shame in beating Mrs. Schatcher, but rather encouragement to silence her, further proving how the once civil Jews were becoming undone by the inhuman environment. Upon their arrival at the camp, the Jews humanity was taken from them already.
