cattle car complex 2

This story was about a jewish man named Adam Posner. One night he got off work late which he always tried to avoid due to claustrophobia. That night he stepped into the elevator and got trapped inside. He was okay for awile until memories started to haunt him. These memories were from the Holocaust and how he and his parents were treated. Even though he was just a child he remembers very clearly how they were trapped in a cattle car. Being in the elevator seemed as if he were back in one of those cars. He started shouting saying how could they hold poor kids and all jewish adults in thsi small car. He continued to yell these things until the elevator repair man opened the it and he was helped to calm down.

In this story the author writes about how much trauma jewish people now live with due the the horrific time period of the holocaust. None of the jews will ever forget this.
