Man’s inhumanity towards man is very apparent in this film. For instance, when the Nazi’s went into the Jewish people’s house and threw one of them out of the window because he could not walk. Or when the Nazi’s selected some Jewish people out of a line and shot them dead. I do not really think that the film is getting away from the theme. There is one example when an old man tries to steal a can of beans from an old woman. As they are struggling and the old woman is yelling for help people are just watching. The can of beans drop to the floor and the man is scarfing down the food off the dirty asphalt while the woman runs off and cries. One thing that does not happy in Elie Weise’s Memoir is that he does not know someone who was a part of the police and he got his brother out of jail, and to get him and his family out of the labor camps.
