Night pages: 23-28

In chapter two (secton two) of Night, the Jews are being treated inhuman by being put into a closed and small place for them to be transported by train. These conditions are horrible until they arrive at the Czechoslovakian border, where it is almost impossible to escape.

Madame Schächter begins to scream and others believe she has become crazy. So others tie her up and stuff her mouth so that she is unable to scream. When she decides to scream again she is beaten and the process continues. When they find out they are at Auschwitz station, they are told they will be treated with care. As night time arrives, Madame Schächter begins to yell again and then she is beaten in order for her to be quiet.

The Jews later find out they are at Birkenaut, a place where newcomers arrives. They also begin to notice a horrible odor which they cannot put they finger on. The odor is the terrible smell of burning human flesh. The kind of hatred that is portrayed in this novel is inhuman and disgusting.

Night pages: 3-22

A young boy, the narrator, named Eliezer lives in a Transylvanian town of Sighet during 1941. Eliezer has three sisters named Hilda, Bea, and Tzipora. The narrator studies the Talmud and the Cabbala. In 1944, the Hungarians govern the Fascits and the German armies are located in Hungary and march into Sighet. From this, many Jews' confidence lowers as they have to wear yellow stars. They are later pushed into a small space with German soldiers keeping the Jews in order. I am starting to notice the cruelty that was involved during this time period between the German Soldiers against the Jewish communtiy. In the next pages, I will learn more about the harsh conditions for the Jews.
