Terror in the 20th century

20th century literature is filled with realistic and historical events that shows the fight between humanity. The 20th century starts to change the way literature is written based on real life experiences and differences. War is a major theme to many literary works because so much war and conflicts were happening during the writer's time. Tadeusz Borowski writes his work from his own experiences, during the holocaust. His story of the concentration camps emphasizes the life and the people's behaviors in his short story, This Way For The Gas, Ladies And Gentlemen. This story gives great insight to the terror and disfunctional being of a debauched world, in order to become one whole empire, under the same belief and values. It was such a rapid and uncivilized change that it can such individualism to the world, as well as the way people looked at and to the world. It gave all humanity a reason to believe that the world is corrupt; it gave people the idea, whom had the most power, to fix and put into affect their own way to how the whole world of humanity should base their ways of life. The holocaust was such a destruction to the point that it gave the victims of the situation, a state of victimizing their own peer prisoners to whom they had an upper hand on. The victims started to hate and victimize other prisoners because of the ideas that were portrayed to be the only way, gave root to their own demoralizing of other prisoner's ways. Using Henri's feedback to his own statement, Borowski states, "Ah, on the contrary, it is natural, predictable, calculated. The ramp exhausts you, you rebel-and the easiest way to relieve your hate is to turn against someone weaker" (Borowski 702). His own exhaustion and hate for what has happened engraves his own mind to become the same evil to why he is a prisoner. The prisoners were stripped of everything to completely humiliate, demoralize, and dehumanize them into their deaths as uncivilized humans, incapable to living a truthful and their own way of life, so they start to believe. Describing the prisoner life, Henri states to Borowski, "Can't you see how uch easier life is becoming around here" (Borowski 696). They start to see the good in the camps and the way of the Germans, to believe in the good and see the bad around them from the different people in the prisons.
