In this chapter of Night, by Elie Wiesel the Jewish people have to leave there belongings behind on a wagon that they arrive at the camp. The people were separated by gender, men to the left and women to the right. They are now in the concentration camps and have to move from harsh treatment and conditions.
Now Elie and his father were separated from his mother and sister. The two groups of men and women went separate ways now. Elie and his father were told they were going to the crematorium; they started to believe this when they saw the flames. Elie was now considering taking his life then, by just running into the electric barbed wire fence, so that he wouldn’t have to go their a slow and painful death.
In the camp Elie was nervous, with noises from men shouting and having to leave his mother and sister. In the camp the men were told to strip down to just shoes and a belt, it was cold now and the men were all trembling. They were told they would get new clothes soon, but this wouldn’t happen till a few days latter. Later, the men were told to run now to another camp in Auschwitz. In this camp it was much better; they started with a hot shower and a new pair of cloths. They would wake up at ten o’clock, receive soup in the morning take a nap in the evening, and receive bread at night. Elise and his father were not sure if they wanted to be transported now to a new camp because they were making out ok but many people were being moved. Unfortunately, their choice was made by the Germans and now they are moving to an unknown destination.
