Passage #3--Irony again

Page 40

We marched. Gates opened and closed. We continued to march between the barbed wire. At every step, white signs with black skulls looked down at us. The inscription: Warning! Danger of Death. What irony. Was there here a single place where one was not in danger of death?

This passage shows irony. There's signs that say that they are in danger of death, but that is ironic because the whole camp is dangerous. They could die from starvation, diseases, gas chambers, etc.
