Night, Caged Animals

From what I've read, I cant stop thinking on how innocent these people are. Is the fact that they dont know what is awaiting them and the false hopes that they have that it'll all get better what makes them so animal-liked. I beleive that that is how Germans saw Jews with their twisted thinking and that's why they had to go through similar processess.

For instance, think about a pig that lives with his family on a farm and one day, he is taken away, probably suspecting that there is something wrong since that had never happened to him, yet thinking that there is a small chance that the outcome is satisfying. As time passes, he gets closer to the butcher and thats where he sees other pigs like him, being slaughtered and teared into pieces by the butcher. Thats when he definitively knows that he is going for the worst. He thinks about all the moments in which he was warned by his companions, those who knew what was going to happen yet, didnt beleive them because had a false hope and those ideas seemed bizarre at the moment.

Probably he thinks about the moment in which he could've run and tried to escape,obviously with a risk of death but having an option to survive is bigger than having to die at all costs. This reminds me to a part of the story, about in page 16, 17 in which he says that nor the Jews or the Germans were running the Ghetto, it was false hope. It really puts you through a lot of thinking, how someone was able to manipulate a whole country to follow his wicked ideas of freedom or purity which affected consequencially the rights of Jews who didnt do anything to deserve. I beleive that the author's purpose at the beggining of the book was to show their fear and the stress they followed with a hope of something that never came. That makes me thing, how do all these animals feel when they go through this same process? How did all these people felt after they lost everything without any reason. It really makes me thing, were does Karma fits in all this?
