does anyone remember when Baker's father says something about it being cold when he was at the camps when in fact it wasn't? or the other way around? does anyone remember what page or chapter that was? thanks (=

sry i juz cut and pasted it from my essay

An example of the inaccuracy of memory is when Yossl is telling his son about the day he first entered Auschwitz . Baker documented this inaccuracy as “he says it was cold. Winter. But it was warm. Autumn.” Showing his fear of the time altered his lasting memory being that it was shivering with fear that made him remember it as winter. In this case documented history is valid truth while memory is misleading but understandable within its context


it can be found on pages 123 - 124 in chapter 22 in the book
