- - - - On page 129, Yanek says, "Water rained down on me. Freezing water so cold it made me scream. Water! Not gas! I was going to live!" This shows light in the darkness because he was giving up and was about to die until water came which helped him.
  - - - On page 179, Yanek says, "It was a struggle to carry the boy, but with someone else to help I was rejuvenated." This shows light in the darkness since Yanek thought nobody would help him and the boy till he found someone kind enough to.
        
        On page 225, Yanek says, "But their kindness in the face of the Nazi soldiers warmed my heart. It was easy to think the worst of humanity when all I saw was brutality and selfishness, and these people showed me there was still good in the world, even if I rarely saw it." During this death march, some people left out food for some of the people. This shows light in the darkness since Yanek gets hope from these nice people.
        
        On page 230, Yanek says, "To my amazement and to the amazement of the other prisoners watching us, Moonface cut a hunk off the loaf with his knife and tossed the bread to me." This shows light in the darkness since he found a way to not starve to death. It is also surprising that someone who has hurt him before decided to be kind.
- - - - On page 245, Yanek says, "For more than six years I had been a prisoner of the Nazis. Prisoner B-3087. Now it was all over." This shows finding light in the darkness because he is relieved that it is all over and that there is no more darkness.
    - - Throughout the whole time of chapter 30, I believe was finding light in the darkness. Yanek was happy when he got his own room, a nice bed, a wash-cloth, a cup, and a toothbrush. He was delighted and cried with others when they ate a good, real meal. He honored his dead family and people who deserved remembrance. He found people he used to live near and other family. And in the end, he started a new and better life to live.
