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.

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.

Religion plays a very big role in Night, because it seems like every Jewish person of this Jewish town is religious. They all believe in God, but after they are taken to the concentration camp, many of them start to question their religion, including Eliezer. When a young man is hanged on the gallows, one man asks “Where is your God now?” and Eliezer responds, “Where is He? Here He is-He is hanging here on this gallow.” you can clearly see how they slowly stop believing in God, because of what is happenning to them.

It’s crazy to read how many jewish people who were crammed into those cattle cars. They were practically treated like animals. Along with the fact that if they tried to run away they would get shot and killed.  It makes me grateful to live in the country we do, where most people aren’t judge for their beliefs. Everyone who were put into those cattle cars were dehumanized and stripped everything they believed in.

Battle Mountain seems to be the stationary home at this part in the story. As the father loses his job and food becomes very scarce, Jeannette’s mother got a teaching job and this introduced a conflict of who controls the money now between the parents. Jeanettes friendship with Billy which turned out to be the friend you don’t want had cost them another home. I think the gun should have been more carefully explained to the kids so they would not have shot at Billy. There stay at Battle mountain is coming to an end and Phoniex is next.

Night is a really good book i really like the way this book starts. i have heard a lot about the holocaust and watch movies about it, but this book really takes us to what really happen in the holocaust. Unlike most Holocaust book it is not a very emotional book in the tense that it makes you sad, but it does fill you with anger at the way people acts towards each other.

So far the story goes along revealing big important things about this family little by little. Jeannette shows me how her father is still the greatest to her even without the means to get her a proper birthday present. They way the children are all raised seems very improper and unsafe to our normal lives. Their lives are lived according to a plan of finding gold but the gold rush days are over and time is this families enemy as they continuously get chased from their place of rest. This book also shares a connection of a family restaurant you usually visit like the Owl Club.
