Tuesday: Pg 37 "I did not move. What had happened to me? My father had just been struck, before my very eyes, and I had not flickered an eyelid...I thought only: I shall never forgive them for that."

This part in the book made me realize the effect of visuals on the people, and how much something can totally change your life, and perspective on things in an instant. It really made me think about how much visuals and sights can affect the way we act and react. When Eliezer sees his father being struck by a gypsy, he does not react, when he says the day previous to that, he could have fought for his father, and protected him. If people like Eliezer are loosing feeling and hope now, on the second day of camp, what will become of the many days, weeks and months to come? I don't think that the physical affects on the people even phased them throughout time; it was the things they saw that killed their light on the inside. That killed the emotions and feelings they had for themselves and other people.
