At the beginning of section 3 Elie tells us that there beloved correspondings were left behind in the wagon, and that in every few yards, there stood an SS man. One of the SS man came and said "Men to the left". Once Elie heard that he couldn't believe he was being separated from his mother and Tzipora his sister, and at that moment Elie felt his fathers hand. While Elie was walking was walking an old man fell to the ground and an SS man took his revolver in its holster, at that moment all Elie could think of was not to lose his father. Later that day a man integgorated Elie the man asked him "how old are you", Elie said "Fifteen", but the man said angrily "no your eighteen", then he disappeared. Some whispered we must do something. We can't let them kill us like in the slaughterhouse. We must revolt", they said this because among the group in which Elie was in there were a few tough men with knives and that they were urging to attack the guards. While Elie was walking to the crossroads he saw Dr. Mengele and he ask "Whats your age", Elie responded saying "eighteen"' and Dr. Mengele kept asking him questions. At last Dr. Mengele told Elie to go to the left. Elie was happy that his father was still with him. When they were walking an inmate came and explained to them that if they were happy because they were heading to the crematorium. And when Elie heard what the inmate had told them he look up front and saw the flames and at that moment he saw a truck and that it was unloading babies. All Elie could think of is, am i still alive? am i awake? and that this could not be real. Elie didn't want to die burning in the fire and that he rather want to die jumping in the electrified barbed wire and that this would be easier than a slow death in the flames. As Elie and his group approached the crematorium the heat was rising and Elie was thinking if "I'm going to kill myself, this was the time. And when he was 3 steps away he gathered all his strenght to throw himself but then they were ordered to turn left and and headed into barracks. When they got the barracks they were told told "strip" off their old cloth and they got new ones. Then they were taken to the barber where they got their hair cut. After, they wander of to the crowd. At 5 o'clock the Kapos where beating Elie and his group up, but they didn't feel no pain. Then they told them to run and after a few minutes, a new barrack appeared. And in the new barracks they showered with hot water. Then again they ran to a Gypsy camp were they made made them stand in the mud and Elie fell asleep doing that, and if a Kapo came a kapo in they stood up. An SS man came in with the Angel of Death and started to explain what they had to do. When he was done he got transferred to another barrack. And when his dad ask were the toilet were at he got slap and Elie didn't do anything. The next day they ran and while they where getting whip they marched to the camp were the chimney was at and they opened the gates. Then SS men encircled them and left the camp and that's when they reached Auschwitz. That's were they met a young pole who gave them a speech with human word. In the morning they got new cloth and black coffee. Later on that day before dusk they got tatoo numbers wich ended up being there names Elies new name was A-7713. The next day was morning: Black coffee. At midday: soup. At the third day Elie would eat any kind of soup. Later that day a guy name Stein was looking for Elies dad to see how they were. Hoping for Elies dad to have news from his family he ask him " i thought you might have some news of Reizel and my two small boys who stayed in Antwerp". That's when Elie lied and he said that they were ok. Stein kept coming and giving Elies dad bread so that Elie could eat it. Until one day Stein received news about a transport from Antwerp had arrived so he went and found out the real news about his family and from that day on Elie never saw him again. The day came where they left to the countryside and after hours, they arrived to a new camp: Buna.
