The prisoners are loading into the train cars and they’re crammed in there. The trainer stops ever so often to throw dead bodies to provide more space in the train cars. One guard throws bread down and the prisoners fight to the death for bread. Then they finally get to camp Buchenuald, and there prisoners get to hot shower, however the showers are packed and Elizer dad lays in the snow to catch some shut eye. He tells Elizer to wake him up when it’s their turn. Then they get both into barracks that day, but later that night Elizer’s father gets really sick. The next couple days Elizer struggle to keep him alive and all the other prisoners are telling Elizer to be every man for himself, but Elizer can’t leave his dad to die like that. A couple days after Elizer’s dad gets sick he starts to say he’s about to die to Elizer and holds him tight through the night and in the morning he is dead. Elizer says that morning that he’s free at last. The next couple months were meaning less to Elizer till Aplill 11 at six o’clock at night American tanks and soldiers raid the camp. And this is where Elizer realizes he’s free at last. They give all the prisoners food to eat, but Elizer gets food poisoning and gets sent to the hospital where he battled death for a couple weeks, but  conquers his sickness. Where he leaving the hospital he catches a glimpse of himself and he saw a corpse. And ever since that day that image will never leave his mind.
