why is that? they accept it? they know it'll just be pain to struggle and get an ass whooping first?
No because you give up - you always hope for the last intervention - Maybe one of the SS will pick me out - its just a missunderstanding they are not going to kill me - If i stand straight enough maybe i don't get killed
etc.
Its human nature not to believe in your death.
However there are few but some accounts that in KZ's people went to their death differently.
1) In Buchenwald a very goodlooking young man was supposed to be hanged for trying to flee the KZ.
While he was standing on the block waiting to be hanged he said with steady loud voice to the watching 1000 prisoners.
MACHTS GUT KAMMERADEN! (Good luck to you all Comrades)
Where the KZ commandant told him: Halts Maul or I shoot you down like a dog.
The young man smiled at him and said: So what that would be better for me anyways.
