Concentration Camp: Jewish Prisoner or Nazi guard?

OK, all. Here is the hypothetical situation. Let's say your are in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII. You have a choice as to what role you will play in this dreadful scenario. You can either be just another Jewish Prisoner or a Nazi guard. If you choose to be the prisoner, you will be subject to the will of your Nazi overlords. There is a very good chance you will starve, be beaten to death, shot, gassed, forced to steal food from other prisoners to survive, experimented on, tortured or become terminally ill. There is also the chance that you could make it out alive upon the Allied liberation with nothing but your bad memories.
As a guard, you will have soldiers quarters, three square meals, regular pay, but you will also have to be responsible for committing the terrible acts mentioned above to the Jews and other minorities. I'm talking target practice with babies, leading hundreds of people to gas chambers and telling them its just showers, separating mothers from daughters, etc.

I guess I would be a Nazi guard. I could always use the old, "I was only following orders" thing the Germans are always going off about...
I'd rather be a swiss, making bucks.

The question cant be answered. Since I have the cognitive and perception of the me as I know of---I would just choose the Nazi guard, and then secretly liberate jews or run away to join the Allied cause, right before I get close eneough to the Nazi hierarchy so I could pop one in Hitlers forhead.
This is like answering the question: if you were your Dad 30 years ago, would you fuck your mom and give yourself life.

OrizonsHorizon,
You could try to liberate Jews or run away, but then you would have to face the consequences of those actions at the hands of other Nazis.
The reason I started this poll was to see what percentage of people would choose Jew. To me the obvious answer is Nazi. It seems to me that I would have a much easier time committing atrocities than being the victim of one.
Just curious to see how many personalities exist which would choose the other role. I guess I'm very frightened by serious pain/torture.

I must complement you on coming up with a truly difficult question which seems to have a very strong ability to discern the moral fiber and value system of those who answer it.

Sarcasm? Don't know if I'm being flamed or not...
The real question is: If I can't figure it out, do I deserve to know?

Wow. Nearly even. Interesting. I respect all you guys who would be willing to be Jews. I assume of course that you are actually considering the question and not just glazing over to choose the "morally proper" answer.

I agree. Thought that was the obvious choice...
Oh well, HEIL. See you in Paris next time we get leave.
