Hello! How many times did you have to recharge the car's batteries in the whole trip?

Hello! You're living history, so thank you for the opportunity you're giving to all of us! My question may sound too morbid too answer, but it's a thing that's always in my mind when I think about all the suffering during the holocaust. With that being said... I've read that humor was used by jews as a coping mechanism in the concentration camps (making jokes even with their hair being shaved and the fake baths in the gas chamber), a way to relieve the tension. Is that true? If so, could you tell some examples of jokes/comments that you remember being used with this purpose? I'm fascinated by the philosophy of humor, specially as a tool for getting through rough times.
