1)The most disturbing part of the book was in camp belsen. When got there his job was to drag dead bodies into the furnace. There was lice crawling on the dead bodies and if he drag the bodies then he can get soup but the soup that he got smelled like burning flesh and was made from dead bodies. He saw a doctor's stomach swell up from Typhus.
2)David got the job of feeding the dogs, they were all tied up and violent and he was scared of them. So he found a broom to push the food into their stalls and as he fed them he would grab food from their dish and eat it. The food was some beef, sugar beets, and chunks of meat. It got him strong so he was able to put some weight on and have some strength while the other guys had to go out and dig while he didn't.
3)David got very sick from Typhus and had a bad fever. In this camp is where he saw people eating dead bodies to stay alive. A doctor that he made friends with told him to survive to go out and eat the grass and that would give him a little moisture for water. The doctor told him to burn some wood and if he would eat the ashes it would stop the bleeding from his rectum.
4)A prisoner burst through the door and said '' were free the Americans are here '' and sobbing David said '' i did it mama, i survived ''. He had to find the strength to get on his knees to let them know that he was still alive.
5)David Faber's book, Because of Romek, should be required reading in all middle schools, high schools, and universities because all students need to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust. It's very important for all human beings to understand the horrors of war. We must understand that anyone of us is vulnerable to cruelty of human beings do to fear and survival. I think that leadership is very important to our world. If you take a leader that is willing to risk everything and try to rule the world then this world will just fall apart piece by piece. I think that people need to know what went on in those times and if they don't then giving a book to students would be a great idea.
