My question to a Holocaust victim

The person I chose to ask questions to is Herman Klein. Herman Klein went through the Holocaust, he was at a very young age when this happened. He was born in 1928 and was one of eight children.
So my questions to Herman would be:
1: As you were being transferred to Dachau, how high were your hopes that you might get liberated some day?
2. Did you ever contemplate the thought of suicide just to rid the horrid experiences, to stop all the torture? If so, what kept you from committing it?
3. Did the Nazi's deceive you to get you to go to the ghettos? Did they tell you you were going to a perfect place, much better than your current location? If not, in what way did they round up everyone?
4. Were you ever able to see your family again? How often throughout the day did they cross your mind? Did it ever occur to you that they might have been killed at the camps, and you were the last one of your family alive?
5. At such a young age, how difficult was it for you to complete the labor?
6. If you were given the chance, would you torture one of the men that made you go through all that suffering, or would you rather not and just let him be?
