The Night Rhetorical Analysis

While reading the next 22 pages, nothing in particular jumped out at me as really shocking. I do admit that there were some memories in these pages that made me cringe at the thought it, but I knew some of the information that Nyiszli wrote. However, the biggest thing I cringed at was when he was talking about the French and Greek doctors that were captured by the KZ. These doctors were so inexperienced that it took them 6-7 time for them to get a lumbar tap correctly performed. Patients either experienced extreme agony, because that needle goes deep, or they were paralyzed and directly sent to the gas chamber. However, this is not the worst of it, and I am outraged that doctors could do this and not feel empathy. I felt kind of happy for Nyiszli because of his new position. As a lucky one, he was forced to do forensics on the bodies that were delivered to him. At the same time, is he truly lucky? He could have went to the camp with his wife and daughter. They would be separated, or he could have just been sent to the gas chamber. In most respects, to be sent to Auschwitz was not lucky at all. However, at least he will be feed well and clean with his new job. Although he believed at this time that he would not last long with this job,
It is obvious that this man is evil, but he only has shown up twice in the book. He usually leaves to direct the incoming trains. He is a busy man it seems like, but nothing has been said about his medical practices, which leaves me on edge. He is infamous for his monstrosities, but all Nyiszli has said is that Mengele took him out of the group just so he could be a forensic surgeon. While that is generous in some respects, it is not the heartless Mengele that comes to mind. I am not sure if I will see this side of Mengele again when he appears. I am sure Nyiszli will go into more detail about Mengele’s work in the near future, but for now I am left in the dark with the horrors that go on in his exam
