The example of dehumanization that I chose is the moment the heads pushed through the windows to gasp for air when the transport arrived. This was when the train finally reached the station and the Jewish are going to be loaded onto the trucks that will take them to their death.

This made a strong impression because numerous people have suffered from being stuffed in a small space with no water or air. When they finally reached the destination, they assume that things will be better, but little did they know that they were going to die. And all the jewels, gold, and food that they attempted to hide and save were all for nothing.

This is significant within the context of the story because it provides proof of inhumanity, ruthlessness, and lack of emotion that Germans had.

This text raises the question on Germans and their ethics and character.
