This Way For The Gas, Ladies And Gentleman, By Tadeusz Borowski

Tadeusz Borowski was on of the most applauded fiction writer after World War II. He was well known for his stories that voice his experiences as a prisoner of the famous Auschwitz concentration camp during the second World War. Tadeusz Borowski; born November 12, 1922, was a writer and a journalist from a polish community located in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. Early throughout his childhood his father Stanislaw Borowski maintained a bookstore that was eventually nationalized due the communist. He was later sent to labor camp in Russia because he was found guilty of being affiliated with a polish military organization during World War I. As a result of this it led to his mother being deported and sent to prison in Siberia. While being left without parentless,
Most of his most common stories are bunched into a collection, which is called “This way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman”.

The ones to the left will go to their execution, the ones to the right are healthy enough to be forced into labor but they do not skip the execution. Once they cannot work the standards that the Nazis are expecting they will be executed. He says that he sees the camp as sanctuary safe haven because even though people are dying, someone is surviving. I also understand why he does not find the situation as a victim and villain situation because not every German in the Nazi army knew that this is the kind of things that they will have to do just to survive. There is no possible way for one single soldier to free an entire camp because you will be seen as a traitor and be executed along with the
