He recreated images of destruction and showed the cruelty used against the victims of the Holocaust: “Without passion, without haste, [the Nazi soldiers] massacred their prisoners . Everyone had to approach the hole and present their neck. Children were thrown into the air and machine gunners used them as targets” (4). After reading his account, readers could not dispute the occurrence of the Holocaust, as no one could conjure up images of such horror and evil. He described their displacement in a way that people could not even imagine, only those who had experienced it could explain the internal reasoning of the victims. “Everything could be found there: suitcases, wallets, briefcases, knives, plates, banknotes, papers, faded portraits. All those things that people thought they would take with them and ended up leaving behind. They had lost all value." How terrible it would have been to lose even photographs of loved ones
