Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front very much achieves its goal to “try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war.” Remarque goes to great lengths to show how the men in his novel came from ordinary backgrounds. These were men who were for the most part around 18-20 years old. The majority of Paul Bäumer’s group were his own classmates in school. Further, these men joined the German Army for patriotic and nationalist reasons. After spending some time in the trenches, they realized the true brutality of war, including the humiliation the soldiers must endure, such as using outdoor toilets in the open.

In 1944, the Germans ordered Rumkowski to announce that Germany was in need of workers to repair damage. These ‘workers’ were not sent to work; they were sent to be exterminated at a nearby concentration camp called Chelmo. After many transports, it was then decided that the remaining survivors would be sent to Auschwitz. A combined number of 145,000 Jews were killed at the concentration camps.
