"My father wept. It was the first time I had ever seen him weep. I had never imagined that he could. As for my mother,she walked with a set expression on her face, without a word, deep in thought..." (Wiesel, 28).
The scene painted for us here show how the process of being taken from one's own life work, broke the people affected. Each Jew lost rights to everything and everything that was valuable, or to big to take with them, they were stripped of everything as they had known and loved. To imagine countless people packed in and going through the deportation process, is an overwhelming example of imagery.
"...the Hungarian police burst into all the Jewish houses in the street. A Jew no longer had the right to keep in his house gold, jewels, or any objects of value." (Wiesel, 20).
This is just one example of what decrees where established onto the Jews, there where many upon many decrees. With each one, tearing down the Jews faith, hope, and lives. They didn't take it seriously, but as this quote describes; those Germans where plenty serious about taking their lives, taking them away from those homes and past, and killing every last one of them.
