Using your knowledge of the Holocaust, describe an example in the play when the playwright employs dramatic irony. Cite details from the text that support your example.

Answer 1

1. Camps were not originally from Jews. They were for political prisoners who opposed Hitler.

2. The greeting given to the Jews when they entered the camp was a lie since they were probably going to die.

3. It is documented that Jews often took time for humor to help with the suffering. They told jokes.

4. The Aryans that worked for Hitler, were often Jewish....

5. It is sad that some Jews tried to save their children before they could be captured and would give them to another family. IF their family survived the camp, some of them wanted to stay with their "new family."

6. This is a horrible one - Some of the Jews were given candy by the soldiers. The candy killed them.
