man's inhumanity towards man

      In the film the theme man's inhumanity towards man is apparent throughout. People were shot for no reason. A woman was shot for asking where they were being taken to. Also an elderly man who was wheelchair bound, was thrown off a balcony because he could not stand up when the Nazi asked him.the inhumanity towards man was based entirely on antisemitism. it breaks away from the theme when Wladyslaw's friends from before the German occupation, helped to hide him after he escaped from the ghetto.
