There’s a lot of argument about people that do terrible terrible things under order - like being a death camp prison guard - and how they’re only doing it to survive themselves. Frankly, anyone who could treat a fellow human being the way those guards did deserves everything that’s coming to them. And while I couldn’t know for sure how I’d react under those circumstances, I don’t think I’d hesitate if it was them or me.
When u imprison me in a torture and slaughter camp you will probably face the consequences.

I'm assuming I'm Jewish (or some such stigmatized person), and it's WWII or before.
If I miraculously had the capacity, I would kill any that stood in my way.
If somehow I greatly outmatched them, I might pick and choose / kill as few as possible. But given that scenario I'd be lucky to get out alive, so I kill anyone I think could stop me, because I want to escape.
I don't condone killing under normal circumstances. This would not be remotely 'normal circumstances'. This would be self defense.
Granted if you escaped Auschwitz into Nazi Germany, having killed some Nazis, it probably doesn't bode well for you, but at least you have a chance. You have a chance staying in Auschwitz, because the war did end, but did people there know what was going on with it? Also who's to say the Nazis don't decide to kill everyone before that happens?
Assuming some sort of choice, I might bide my time. Though you might get to remember that "risky chance you didn't take" when the end comes.
This seems logical/obvious(???)
