chapter 2 Isabel Hernandez Per 4.

In chapter 2 they are still on their way to concetration camps. The jews try to save whatever they have for the next day. Their plan was to save for the worst to come, they did what they had to, to survive. During the ride to the concetration a  Gestapo officer stepped in the cattle cars and took any valuables the Jews had left. The Gestapo told the Jews if he finds any one else having any kind of valuable they'll be killed on the spot. When the Gestapo officer left , he warned the Jews that if anyone was missing,he knew how much were in there, that he would shoot them all. A lady named Mrs. Schacter was seperated from her husband and son. She was devastated because of that. One night while everyone was sleeping she sat up and started screaming claiming that there was a fire near, everyone started to panic and when they looked out there was nothing. This happened frequently. Once everybody got tired of it and encouraged the guys to hit her when they did she still was screaming , her son tried to calm her down.They also tried gagging her, but that only worked for a couple of hours. When they finally arrived at the concetration camp they saw a thick black fog in the sky, the source a crematorium. The stench of human flesh being burnt was in the air.
