Answer 1

6. This statement is made by a fellow prisoner in the concentration camp. The meaning is deeply ironic and tragic. The speaker expresses a perverse "faith" in Hitler because the horrific promises of extermination that Hitler made to the Jewish people are, in the speaker's experience, being kept. This highlights the desperation and distorted reality within the camps, where even the fulfillment of genocidal promises becomes a twisted form of reliability.7. This passage uses anaphora (repetition of "the last night") to emphasize the recurring trauma and constant uprooting Elie and other prisoners experienced. Each "last night" represents a farewell to a previous life and a descent into further dehumanization. It underscores the feeling of continuous loss and the blurring of memories as one horrific experience bleeds into the next. It also foreshadows the uncertainty of the future and the ever-present fear of another "last night."8. The superficial reason given for cleaning the camp is simply maintaining order and hygiene. However, a more likely and sinister reason is that the Germans wanted to erase any evidence of the horrific conditions and mistreatment of the prisoners. A clean camp would make it more difficult for liberating forces to assess the full extent of the atrocities committed there. This act of cleaning can be seen as an attempt to sanitize the scene of their crimes.
