The football game was very risky, I mean the prisoners have no idea what the SS wanted. Obviously to win. But did they want to win by a lot or what? And also the new doctor guy seems like he either likes or hates Lale for his cleverness he might find out about the trading he’s got going on. I hope not.

Gita got typhus and the girls helped her, I never would have thought they would be able to help her about the camo without getting noticed and killed but apparently they could. New character Cilka, somehow she kept her hair? Maybe because she’s favoured by that ratchet man that treats her worse than the rest? Gypsys and children were put into the camp. They describe gypsys as their own race or something

I’ve kind of lost respect a little for Lale. Putting Gita and the two other girls in danger, as well as the father and son. I get that they need more food and that but idk. It just seems too dangerous and not worth it. But Lale with Gita, why is he putting both of their lives at risk like that just so he can talk to her. That is definitely not worth it and is so stupid. He will get her killed.

Chapter 3 - Hate beretski that bastard. Also what the hell happened to Pepan? I quite liked him. Smart. I wonder if they killed him and why? Tbh the guards don’t even need a why cuz they are just cruel. The girl Lale meets and has a crush on, doesn’t seem like that will end well. Especially with Beretski already trying to mess with him.

Shown the gas chambers in the second chapter, it’s kind of hard to wrap my head around the emotions. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve heard and seen in the media before or it’s the fact that it’s in fiction writing. But it doesn’t feel real.

The prologue and chapter caught my interest straight away. Written in a way that is easy to understand despite not knowing a lot except the obvious.
