In Night they are in a train car that was hot and that they have to stand for room. They want water and lie down and need food. They stop at Kaschau. The Germans demand the deportees to give them any valuables or be shot. That also goes for everyone else if they try to escape they will be shot. On the third afternoon, the train stops at Auschwitz, Poland. Two deportees go get water and come back with bad news: families will remain together; the young will work in factories; the elderly and invalids will work in the fields. A German officer promises medical care in the hospital car. Near midnight, the prisoners see flames coming from a tall chimney. There are Tommy guns. Elie goes and fallows the men to the line to the left. The women go to the right and he never sees his mother or sister again. The officer’s look at the men and either kill them because they are not fit or send them to work if they look strong enough.
So this relates to the video about Kitty. She is a Jew during WW2 that was forced to go to the death camps and has survived. She went in with her whole family and when they got there all of her family was exterminated just like in the book Night. Only her and her mother survived. She witnessed the smoke from fire in the ditches to burn the people that were dead. She also witnessed the smoke coming from the incinerators that were cremating people. She listened to people being gassed alive thousands at one time. She was able to work in the bathroom that was for people to use, she cleaned the toilet basically, which meant good news because that means that they will not be beaten. All of her friends died there. She talked about how she kept the secret about the gas chambers killing the people right off the train because she didn’t want them panicked on their way to die. So that is a summary of what has happened so far in the book and the story of Kitty at the camps.
