Anthony Hernandez & Odalyz Abrero Period 3

In section 6 we find Elizerr being forced to run to a new camp, and the SS will shoot anyone whole falls behind. The prisoners are running to a new camp because the Russians are trying to set them free and the Germans don't want that. While Elizer is running he meets a young boy named Zalman who eventually dies because he could not run  anymore. After the prisoners finish running they find themselves in a deserted village where they decide to rest. Elizer's father wakes Elizer up because if he falls asleep in the snow he would die of hypothermia so they decide to take turn watching over each other through the night. While Elizer is in the shed were he and his father were sleeping a man named Rabbie Eliahou is asking if someone has seen his son because they had gotten separated in the running. Elizer remembers seeing Rabbie Eliahou's son running ahead of his father because he thought that his father would not survive. Elizer prays that he will never do what Rabbie Eliahou's son had done.

The next day when the Jews finally arrvive at Gleiwitz they are packed into barracks. There are so many people in the barracks that Elizer thinks that he was going to suffocate, people are being crushed to death due to the mass amount of people crowded in the barracks. While Elizer is being pushed around he find himself on top of Juliek. Juliek is the musician who he met in Buna, Sadly in the morning Elizer find Juliek dead and his violin broken.They stayed in Gleiwitz for three days without food or water. In the third day there is selection and Elizer's father is being sent to the left because he cannot walk well. Elizer runs after his dad and makes a big disturbance so that he and his father are able to move to the right. The prisoners are later waiting for the cattle cars to be transported but they are so deprived of water that they eat ice with spoons out of each other’s back. After the wait the cattle cars arrive and 100 prisoners are loaded in each cattle car.
