Explanation:

To answer these questions, we analyze the context of Auschwitz (from "Night" by Elie Wiesel, assuming Moshe is a character experiencing its horrors):

1. Daily Life in Auschwitz (Table Completion)

Conditions	Evidence
Clothing	Prisoner uniforms (striped pajamas), lack of warmth, ragged conditions.
Treatment	Brutal labor, beatings, dehumanizing abuse, medical experiments (for some).
Identity	Loss of personal identity (tattooed numbers, stripped of names, forced uniformity).

2. How does Auschwitz change Moshe?

• Feelings: From hopeful/innocent to traumatized, desensitized, or filled with despair/fear.
• What is lost?: His humanity, innocence, sense of self, and connections to pre - camp life.
• What becomes his main focus?: Survival (finding food, avoiding punishment, staying alive).

3. Big Ideas in the Chapter

• Dehumanization → Prisoners are treated as objects (e.g., numbered, starved, forced labor).
• Loss of Identity → Stripped of names, individuality, and personal history (uniforms, tattoos).
• Survival → The struggle to stay alive becomes the primary goal (prioritizing food, safety, and endurance).

These answers reflect the historical and literary context of Auschwitz’s dehumanizing environment and its impact on prisoners.
