Assignment #2 ;Cattle Car Complex
Adam Posner was a Jewish lawyer that got stuck in an elevator. As Posner was sat in the elevator, he remembered the Holocaust. The man was remembering about how the Jewish were put in Cattle Cars (80 in each), and how they were suffering of thirst and suffocation; he was claustrophobic. Adam was afraid of the dark as well; the officer asked him to stay there longer, but Posner refused and cursed at him. At the end the Jewish man was saved, still living the horrible memorys of the Holocaust.
this to show how Jewish people today are still affected and tramatized by the Holocaust even if they know it happened a long time ago.
