Short Essay Questions
1. In Chapter 21, Keneally writes, "they thought of him as a good enough fellow who'd been stricken with a form of Jew-love as with a virus. . . But he would have to pay for his disease." What does Keneally mean by that?
2. In Chapter 27, the burning of the bodies begins at Plaszow. Keneally says "In the enthusiasm of the spring of 1943, bodies--notably the bodies of those killed in the ghetto's last two days--were thrown randomly into mass graves in the woods."

If you think it cannot be completely hidden, tell why you think that.
