  12. Chapter 19
    Question 5:
    Ater all the jews and Bruno started walking together at the order of soldiers,they stopped in one room.They like the room as it was warm and outside it was raining and was cold.But later the room got hotter and hotter and hotter,so the people started to sweat very much as started replacing their clothes but it`s still get hotter and hotter.So I think that they are burned alive as the Hitler also burned the jews alive and they also do thee same things as Hitler.So i think that the jews and Bruno were burned alive or probably had died because of the lack of the oxigen as the room was locked and their were many people in the same room.
