'Night' By Elie Wiesel

I read the second and third chapters of Night, today. At the beginning of the second chapter, the Hungarian jew sees a train, and realizes that he and his family are going to be taken away from Hungary. A german officer threatens, that if one of the eighty people goes missing, the rest will be shot. The train arrives at Auschwitz, a german extermination camp, but none of the people have heard of Auschwitz. The people are told to go to a labor camp near the area.

In the third chapter, a gestapo officer separates the men and women, and make the groups form ranks of five, so they can start working. The groups eventually arrive at the new camp, Buna.
