He worked vigorously every single day and every single night but still could not manage to escape the feeling of worthlessness, pain and malnourishment. When able, he would sneak in small nibblets of stale bread and drink the dirty water that was scarcely provided to the prisoners at the camp. Like others surrounding him, scared and confused he reluctantly followed the humiliating orders given by the SS guards directing the camp. Those who chose their dignity over obedience were taken away and never seen or heard from again. If only he could escape, if only he could return to the life he once lived before he was abducted.

Let's say someone's life rested in your hands how would you feel? Better yet let’s say it was a family member. What would you do if you own parents were being lied about and you were the only one that could save them from being placed in jail? How would you take control of this situation? Would you say whatever it takes to keep your parents out of jail or would you try to find the truth? What do you think Braden did? He must decide whether to lie or find the truth.
