It seems like there might be a typo in your query. Did you mean "Auschwitz"? Auschwitz was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by Nazi Germany during World War II. It is a symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust, where over one million people, mostly Jews, were killed.

1. "...we saw the barbed wire of another camp. An iron door with this inscription over it: 'Work is liberty!' Auschwitz"2. "Three days after the liberation of Buchenwald I became very ill with food poisoning. I was transferred to the hospital and spent two weeks between life and death.-Situational Irony: He wasn't expecting to get sick from eating all of the food he did, he was just hungry.3. "Like the leader of the camp, he loved children."-Dramatic: They were so nice to the kids because they were sexually abusing them.4."I've got more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He's the only one who's kept his promise, all his promises, to the Jewish people."-Situational: Hitler is the one who started the killing of Jews; Lost faith in God for not being there for him.________________________________________________________________Some other examples:"But as they [new shoes] were covered with a thick coat of mud, they had not been noticed. I thanked God... for having created mud in his infinite and wondrous universe."Commentary: The mud that they had to live in (like animals) suddenly became an advantage to Elie. He could have warm and comfortable shoes because the dirty, filthy mud prevented the SS officer from noticing them and taking them away."Remember it always, let it be graven in your memories. You are in Auschwitz."Commentary: The bitter irony is that Elie or anyone else could never, ever have forgotten Auschwitz and what was done there."Work or crematorium - the choice is yours."Commentary: They are posed are real options, but in reality, the Jews never really had any power over their fate."The sun was shining... It was a beautiful day in May. The fragrances of spring were in the air."Commentary: Elie tells of the wonderful day - as he marches towards another Nazi Death Camp.Lastly, "Work makes you free." (Already mentioned but I added some additional commentary.)Commentary: The slave laborer Jews were already free before they were imprisoned. Also, the word of the Death Camps eventually lead to death more often than not.
