About This Quote

The Jews who were captured by the Nazis were given very little freedom. They were not allowed to work, were not allowed to congregate with one another, and could not even visit their family members. The life they lived was one of brutality and torment. However, the Jews who were able to escape held more internal power than those who were captured.

The ones who escaped had the ability to exercise their freedom after they found themselves in the clutches of the Nazis. They had all types of options available to them. They could choose to stay in captivity or leave the prison camps.

And, even though they weren’t free, they had more internal power than those who were captured.
