Fatelessness Chapter 3 quotes

This week the task is to analyse three interesting quotes from the third chapter of "Fatelessness".

1.-  "I once asked him what he found so great about smoking so much, to which he gave the curt reply, 'It's cheaper than food".
       This quote is set when Georg is with "Smoker", a poor boy who didn't had money enough to buy food. This situation affects very much in the context in which Jews are, starving in the streets, kids addicted to ciggarets because they can't afford anything else.

2.- "They led us on into a maze of gray buildings, before we suddenly debouched onto a huge open space strewn with a white gravel".
       This quote is set when Georg is taken to the concentration camp, we can notice how he was unfamiliar to that kind of places, and how imponent were the buildings. The labyrinth of stone.


3.-“He turned toward the gendarmes, ordering them, in a bellow that filled the entire square, to take the whole Jewish rabble off to the place”.
      This quote represents the superiority the nazis thought they had over the Jews, and also how Jews were considered trash. This quote is said by the protagonist of the story inside the "labor camp".
