The goal of the Holocaust camps was to eventually kill, and destroy all Jewish and other ethnic groups whom did not succeed under Hitler's expectations. Although this was the purpose of these horrid places, which now dread among the memories of those who are now living, they had their own purpose, which was to survive. The harsh camps had unbelievable conditions, which even to these oppressed people, were unimaginable. Items of any value and family members were taken away from camp members, which would most likely to decrease their determine to survive. The book Night, shows many examples of ones who long to survive through out the story. This is one of the many examples, "One day we stopped, a workman took a piece of bread out of his bag and threw it into the wagon. There was a stampede. Dozens of starving men fought each other to death for a few crumbs." This statement shows how valuable life is, which is why I think the main theme of this book should be survivor.
So many died in the horrible time in history, but at the same time, so many wanted to survive. Survival was the main goal of all prisoners of the Holocaust of 1933-1945.
