5. This image portrays a sign saying, “Workers Needed.” Why is this sign posted? What does Vladek decide to do? Does he plan to work? Explain. (Page 54, bottom left.)

Vladek wakes up one morning to find a sign requesting workers and advertising good food and accommodation. He volunteers, and when he arrives at the camp, he is given his own bed and a full day to rest. The labor is hard work, literally moving mountains to flatten the terrain, and some men are too weak or old to do it.
