Daniels story chapter 15 summary

When the story opens, he is 14 years old, riding on a train and looking at pictures in his photo album. Daniel uses a photograph album to spark his memory of events from when he was six years old until the day he and his family are loaded onto the train bound for the Lodz ghetto. He took pictures of people to try and earn money; he met other youth who tried to find places for people who were being transported out to hide, and they tried to survive. Disease, starvation, cold and fear are daily, even hourly, concerns for Daniel, his family and friends. He watches as families are separated, babies are killed and old people are left to freeze to death. Upon arrival at Auschwitz, Daniel and his father are separated from his mother and sister, and the horrors of the camp are described. From being shaved and disinfected to watching other prisoners being shot point blank for no reason, Daniel continues to push through with his desire to live and be reunited with Rosa.

The Book of Daniel is a 2nd-century BC biblical apocalypse combining a prophecy of history with an eschatology a portrayal of end times which is both cosmic in scope and political in its focus.
