Final review: Kluger

1 ____11. The section on the discussion of claustrophobia is crucial to understanding the book. Why is this socially awkward for her? Where does she see connections between her memories and theirs?

Her encounter with the cramped trains is crucial to understanding her concept of the book. Although she had never been in a gas chamber she said that being in that train with the heat and the death, it helped her understand what people had gone through as they were dying in the chambers. She got a visual of what she hadn’t experienced and she understood it. This is what she wants her readers to feel; a sense of understanding and learning rather than pure sympathy and reflection.
