Silence.

This shirt says Silence is the new loud. It reminded me of the concentration camp because I can only imagine how loud the silence must have been in the camp. Even if no one was talking, the thoughts going through your mind the entire time your there would be enough to drive anyone crazy.

The silence of God is the most troubling for Elie. He's left to wonder how an all knowing God could be so quiet as all his followers are being tortured. Even the silence makes Elie question his faith. There's also another type of silence throughout the inmates during the cruel and torturous acts the Nazi's display. Every surviving inmate who watched silently as a family member or friend was beat repeatedly has to be living with a lifetime of guilt.
