    During the time of the Holocaust, prisoners were given ragged clothing and shoes that only had one size. In the concentration camp, clothing and shoe size did not fit all. If someone was larger than another person, the clothing and shoe size would be the exact same, despite body sizes. While in Auschwitz, prisoners would barter and trade for different sizes of shirts, pants, but most importantly, shoes. Shoes are one of the essential items the prisoners use every day to make sure their feet stay comfortable, so if the shoes someone wore were too small, or too big, they would have the opportunity to barter with someone else to find their correct shoe size. While Vladek collected the shoes and brought them back to his friend, Mandelbaum, Vladek spoke to Mandelbaum, “‘Wooden shoes that fit you’” (Spiegelman 43). While Vladek was fixing a guards shoes, he also got the opportunity to choose some new clothing items to help him and Mandelbaum. Once again, Vladek went to fetch Mandelbaum a brand new pair of shoes for Mandelbaum to help him out because his old shoes were falling apart more and more every day. Once Mandelbaum found out the news, he leaped in excitement just seeing the new shoes in Vladek's hands. Mandelbaum knew that it was extremely hard to find a pair of shoes that fit perfectly, so when he finally received a properly sized set of shoes, he could

    The old, leather shoe lays dirty and forlorn in the back closet. Among its more appealing neighbors, the oxfords and loafers, it’s tattered and scuffed surface seems all the more striking. The frayed laces try to unite its distressed eyelets, but it’s helpless. The thin and worn under-sole clings desperately to the shoe's bottom like a climber's last grip on a rugged mountain cliff. In its day, long before it was shoved to the back in favor of more glamorous replacements, this shoe saw and felt it all; from dancing Bachata to running through the concrete streets of New York City. Despite its present-day humiliation, its memories remain vivid in its “sole”.

It was the dull throb in his nose and painful ache in his jaw that roused his senses, the discomfort slowly intensifying as his mind floated toward consciousness. A low moan rumbled in the back of his throat, and opening his eyes, he squinted against the harsh sunlight blazing through the open window.
