¶ … Solution become policy and take shape in World War II? The Nazis worked through a lot of scenarios and ideas in their minds about how to kill the Jews in an effective and efficient way. Just shooting the all was too taxing and the ghettos that were set up were not quick enough either. Of course, the eventual method used were the concentration camps like Auschwitz and others. The Final Solution was unprecedented in terms of its efficiency and the scope of its intent, that being the wiping out of an entire ethnicity the size of the Jews. To be clear, the Nazis wanted to kill every last Jew...all of them. This is just one thing that demarcates the Holocaust from every other genocide that is known in human history.

Explain the killing process at the death camps and life in the labor camps.

This is where the gas chambers and other mass killing devices were used so as to kill Jews as quickly as possible. One rather jaw-dropping method that was used was a crematorium. The gas was not kept onsite but was rather brought onto the property with vehicles that had Red Cross insignia. The Nazi soldiers would quietly and procedurally kill off 3,000 Jews and then go about their business after their "work" was done. Prior to that, Jews that were deemed worthy were allocated to labor camps while those incapable of engaging in such labor were simply done away with. Indeed, there was the active question prior to that as to what should be done with Jews that were not "useful" when it came to the labor that the Nazis wanted to use the Jews for.
What did survivors do and how were they treated after liberation and since? Why?

By the end of the war, over 19 million American women had left the kitchen and gone to work in factories, but Haak's mother was not among them. She did help coordinate a campaign to send letters and cookies to soldiers from the farmhouse in Wisconsin, but the farm required both Haak's father and mother to stay and work the land.

This may also account for Eliezer's interpretation of Moshe's account of the slaughter at the hands of the Gestapo: he feels that the man must be lying -- he also believes that the rest of his town rejects his story as well. However, it is quite likely that many of the older citizens fearfully believe Moshe, but do not want to publicly acknowledge it. Nonetheless, from Eliezer's young point-of-view,
