  1. Night “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed."- Elie Wiesel, Night, Ch. 3 "Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never."- Elie Wiesel, Night, Ch. 3

  2. Auschwitz-Burkenau“The Death Camp” The Auschwitz complex was divided in three major camps: Auschwitz I main camp or Stammlager; Auschwitz II, or Birkenau, established on October 8th, 1941 as a 'Vernichtungslager' (extermination camp); Auschwitz III or Monowitz, established on May 31th, 1942 as or work camp; also several sub-camps. There were up to seven gas chambers using Zyklon-B poison gas and three crematoria. Auschwitz II included a camp for new arrivals and those to be sent on to labor elsewhere; a Gypsy camp; a family camp; a camp for holding and sorting plundered goods and a women's camp. Auschwitz III provided slave labor for a major industrial plant run by I G Farben for producing synthetic rubber (see Blechhammer). Highest number of inmates, including sub-camps: 155,000. The estimated number of deaths: 2.1 to 2.5 million killed in gas chambers, of whom about 2 million were Jews, and Poles, Gypsies and Soviet POWs. About 330,000 deaths from other causes. http://remember.org/auschwitz/

  3. Concentration Camps Definition: Camps established by the Nazi regime, which eventually became a major instrument of terror, control, punishment, and killing performed through both deliberate means as well as attrition by hunger and/or disease.

  4. Death Camps The Nazis established killing centers for efficient mass murder. Unlike concentration camps, which served primarily as detention and labor centers, killing centers (also referred to as "extermination camps" or "death camps") were almost exclusively "death factories." German SS and police murdered nearly 2,700,000 Jews in the killing centers either by asphyxiation with poison gas or by shooting. Crematory/Crematorium- Poland Date is uncertain

  5. Kapo Definition: a concentration camp prisoner selected to oversee other prisoners on labor details. The term is often used generically for any concentration camp prisoner to whom the SS gave authority over other prisoners.

  6. Josef Mengele “Angel of Death” Josef Mengele was born in Gunzburg, Bavaria on 16 March 1911. After studying philosophy in Munich, Mengele took his medical degree at the University of Frankfurt am Main.A convinced Nazi, he became after 1934 a research fellow and staff member of the newly founded Institut fur Erbbiologie und Rassenhygiene – Institute of Hereditary Biology and Race Research, where he specialised in the study of twins and racial pedigrees. During World War Two, Mengele joined the Waffen-SS and served as a medical officer in France and Russia. He was appointed to the post of Camp Doctor in the Gypsy Family Camp doctor in Auschwitz Concentration Camp on 30 May 1943, where he directed innumerable selections of victims, proving himself to be a ruthless and pitiless implementer of the “Final Solution.”

  7. “Selection” during the Holocaust “Selection” is the process of narrowing down, or SELECTING rather those that will live and die in the concentration camps during The Nazi reign during the Holocaust. If you were young, strong, healthy and male, you might survive only long enough to endure long hours of monotonous labor. If you were female you probably died unless, you had a musical talent or were looked kindly upon by an SS officer. (Mind you though, nothing the SS officer would do to you would typically be kind. You would have your life, but that is all.) http://www.history.com/topics/the-holocaust/videos#concentration-camp-liberation

  8. Reflection “The word Night is a key word in this section of the book. What does the word mean early in the first chapter? Please predict how you think the meaning changes as the story progresses.” This will be a 7-10 sentence paragraph prediction, to be done in class, but whatever is not done in class is to be completed for homework.
