The world is still a concentration camp

A story about the Nazis forced the Jews in the concentration camps to counterfeit money for them. It shows the shrewdness of the Jews and the brutality of the Nazis. The anti-war connotation is not strong, but it makes people feel a little bit about today's workplace.

Just to name a few examples:

1. The Nazi brigade leader never beats children at home, but he kills without blinking in the concentration camp, and finally wet his pants when facing death threats. Are there a lot of people with such a split personality in the company? Maybe it's the same for me, but it's not so obvious.

2. The Jews will be rewarded if they do well, and killed if they do not. The company just doesn't have the power to kill, otherwise they wouldn't have fined or fired you.

3. Jews celebrate carnivals in concentration camps, and a group of people who may be shot at any time also sing and dance to please the Nazis. Is it a bit like the activities of many companies. The leaders have just been scolded by the leaders, and they have to make a toast to the leaders. If they are a bit literary, maybe they have to sing a hymn to the company.

For most ordinary people, this world is still a big concentration camp, and only people like Solovich who endure the severe pain in their hands to paint Nazi portraits can get a little more human. The difference is that today's world is not so cruel, there is no need to choose multiple-choice questions between morality and life, and most people are not as shrewd and generous as Solovich, and can only live with dissatisfaction.
