Chapter Six and Seven
Predictions: A lot of people will be dying from long days without good food and water. And with all the snow that could make many prisoner really ill.
Clarifications: They have to evacuate Buna before the Russians come. But they have to travel for days really crowded together without food or water. And at the end of the journey on the train only a little bit of people are alive and a big portion of them are died, because they were to ill or were killed.
Questions: Why didn't they have any food to give to the prisoner?
Why did they have to many people in one cattle car and not put them in separate one?
Connections: One time that I was going to Mexico we had to drive and it took 3 days and there were alot of people on so we were really crowded together and plus the lugage. We couldn't make so many stops to go to the bathroom.
Summary: They have to evacuate Buna. And the SS would shot anyone that would stop running. And Elie was running will a boy named Zalman but he was telling Elie that he could no longer run farther, that he was to tired and thirst. Zalman stopped and just fell and died. Even though Elie had an injured foot and was weak he still keep running. After running all night they arrive at a village. Elie and his father promised each other that if one slept the other one would watch and they would take turns doing this. The prisoner arrive at the Gleiwitz camp, shoving each other so they could enter into the barracks. They were so smushed together that they couldn't really breath and some were even dying because others were getting on top of them. After days without water and bread there is another selection. Elie's father was told to go stand there but Elie goes after him They both sneek over to the other side where another cattle wagon will be picking them up. The train travels for 10 days. With the really cold snow and not having anything to eat or drink some die and have to be thrown out of the cattle. As they passed German towns they would throw bread so they could watch the Jews kill each other for food. But when the train arrives at Buchenwald only 12 out of 100 men are still alive.
