The morning bell rang on a Monday morning in a private highschool found in suburban America. The last person racing in the door was Erwin Totschmeid. He spent the previous night hunched over his keyboard playing an MMO that had recently updated with a new raid. It was Erwin 's first attempt at the raid and to put it simply it didn 't go great. After several hours of bashing thier heads against a seemingly unbeatable second phase, the raid party decided it would be best to temporarily retreat and attempt to gain levels. Erwin agreed to this yet he decided rather than sleep at the already late time of midnight he would spend several hours grinding levels. Erwin 's impulsive decision led to an apathetic response to his morning alarm and caused the current sprint to towards the classroom. …show more content…

A delicious smell wafted from the kitchen of the little house on Dauphin Island as I stepped inside the door. My friends Sarah and Selena Sweeney were already crowding their mom against the stove, plates pushed out in front of them like a medal they were showing off. “Enfrijoladas!” they exclaimed, fighting for the first of several of the strange-looking blobs folded onto their outstretched plates. I timidly tasted a bite of the blobs, and I soon was devouring my fourth plate of the Enfrijoladas right next to them.

The S.S. officers dehumanized the Jews by abusing and treating them as animals, making conditions unbearable in the concentration camps, and by making transportation nearly impossible to live through.

I woke up at about five in the morning, did my prayers, did the house chores, then left for the synagogue to start my work. If you can think of anything to do for a synagogue, I’ve probably done it; I clean, prepare, and just about everything else. A good friend of mine, Elie Wiesel (I’d say I’m like a mentor to him), asked me a question today. “...Why do you pray, Moishe?”

Sleep deprivation, a common occurrence for him, had taken its toll; the normal, neat set of footsteps were replaced by a chaotic disarray of lines caused by his dragging feet. Focusing on the cold was blocking it out of his mind, but now the hammer had come down on his head. A good night’s rest hadn’t come in bordering on a fortnight. Sleep was a wonderful and rare commodity, one that he could not afford to use at any time.
