Beds are typically described to be a stable and comfortable place to repose. But in concentration camps, do they look that way? About a dozen or more people to each bunk bed without blankets nor pillows would sometimes result in people's preference to get their own sleeping spots on the floor. You cannot even imagine how many people the Nazis forced to have sleep in the same barrack. Hundreds upon hundreds.
Sleep was not so peaceful either. Being in a concentration camp and being exposed to brutality and extermination was not a comforting matter to fall asleep to. Where were these victims able to find stability? They could not find it in their beds necessarily, they had to find it within themselves! What an existential thought that is!
