Yelling In the Dark by Ivy Mach- Period 1

In section two of Night, Elie Weisel and his family were forced to go into a cattle car with all the Jews. The cattle car was a big storage box. There were over 70 people per cattle car, it was really crowded. When they closed the car, it was pitching black and there was barely enough air for them to breathe. People would have to go do their business in a specific corner. Everyone was hungry and thirsty. The all wondered about where they were going and what was going to happen. Among all the Jews there was on the cattle car, there was a lady called Madam Shachter. She and her son were separated from her husband. Due to the trauma she had, she had gone insane. She would yell out fire and everyone would look out the window. Every few minutes, she would yell fire but nothing was there. Soon they would get tired of her yelling, some Jews decided to tie her up and stuff her mouth. It only worked for a while. Eventually she calmed down for a while but soon she started yelling again. They started to believe her when they smelled smoke. Everyone looked out the window. All they saw as a big building with a chimney. Coming out the chimney was smoke. They are in Auschwitz.
