In this chapter Night, you see Elie and his father they are on there way to a camp to work. They could not choose the camp and they were inspected by German doctors. They finally are moved into a camp and worked in an electrical building where they would be used for distributing materials.

Going threw the line of the medical doctors Elie was asked if he was healthy and then the next doctor was a dentist and he was only checking for gold teeth and implants. Elie had a gold implant and was put on a list not by name but number that was tattooed to his arm. He was later asked to go to the dentist where they would extract it, fortunately he procrastinated and the dentist was arrested for selling the gold teeth and crowns. Later, a SS man asked Elie for it and in return he would help Elie out by giving him extra food. Elie would refuse this until the man had made it to torturous for his dad who he would beat because he didn’t know how to march correctly. He finally gave it up, not knowing that in a week he would be moved to a different camp.

Earlier in the day Elie and his father were talking to veterans and were asking which the best camp to be sent to they said it was Buna. This was fortunately where they later would be sent to work with electrical materials. It was an easy job with a nice SS officer in command and good living conditions. Fortunately the material was not live with electricity and was easy to handle. This is where Elie and his father would work side by side sorting material.

Near the end of this chapter the men were given little hope with U.S. bombings happening around the camp and destroying some of the camps. This reassured the men that one day they may be free and them some motivation to live.
