Third impression On chapters 4,5,&6
Elizer and his father are in the camp and talking to the people and asking what job should they stay away from and they all say construction. The next day the doctor and dentist come into to the camp and everyone was thrilled to get the medical records up to date; Elizer and all the prisoners were just asked if they were okay and checked if they had gold crowns on their teeth. They stay at the camp for weeks and Elizer is in his cell mad at god and refusing to bless his name. The next day comes the prisoners are ordered to run to the next camp which was a couple of miles away. Elizer and his cell mate Zalaman were running next to each other, till he caught a stomach and fell down and when to fell down he was trampled to death. They finally get to the new camp “Gleiwitz” where they’re two lines; the left is the death line and the right line goes into the camp. But Elizer father is in the left line! So Elizer sneaks over to the left line and brings his dad to safety. Then the wait at the train station in Gleiwitz to go to the next concentration camp.
