Night- Chapter 2


All of the Jews are trapped in a cattle car. They are in serious pain and agony. There are so many of them that there is little air to get to everyone. They are starting to lose their minds and start to flirt and exchange conversation as if they were all single. As many are not crazy yet, they ignore the others actions.

When the train arrives at the Czechoslovakian border, a German soldier takes charge of the train. The Jews are threatened with the chance of death if there were less people on the train later and there is now. As a prevention of this, the doors are nailed shut. Madame Schachter, a middle-aged woman who is on the train with her ten-year- old son, is the first to go completely crazy. On the third night she begins to scream that she sees a fire in the darkness outside the car. To stop her from waking the soldiers, the men tie her and get her to stop screaming. They find out that they are going to Auschwitz. The locals tell them that they will be treated good and fed. This brings hope to the people.

This was the way these people were treated just on the trains. They were even being treated like nothing even on the trains to get to the concentration camps. This is not how humans should be and they should treat other people.

I like the line that supports the theme of ignorance. And the pictures adds even more of a gastly effect to your blog.
