Night3
This whole situation started out simple enough. The men and myself first moved into this little town called Sighet. The people there seemed so naive. None of them realized what was about to happen; none of them realized what happened when the Germans move into town. We first started by imprisoning the officials and made all the Jews were yellow stars. The Jews were then moved into a very small ghetto and cramped quarters. It was obvious that none of them had heard of the horror of the concentration camps and what awaited them once they left the safety of their homes. Me and some of the other officers tried to be nice to the Jews because I, personally, hated carrying around this gun. Once you were in the camp the site of these officers holding these weapons struck fear into the hearts of all in the camp. We had finally gotten all of the people of the town of Sighet onto the train and had started the journey towards Auschwitz. The condition on the train is something I don't think I could have stood for. The Germans were put in charge of the train in the middle of the journey.

I was aware that the Jewish holidays were approaching and it required them to fast. Once we got to the camp everyone was put on the train to what turned out to be the last torture test. The men and women were separated and taken to separated and taken to the barracks. to yield their valuables, the were to be shot. Little did they know that they were going to a terrible place in which the males and females would be seperated and all of the people had a slim chance of even making past the inspections. The prisoners were running straight ahead not even thinking. The officers had a meeting and decided to evacuate the camp at once. I know some of them have to be lying about their age. We had to press forward because we still had to get to the camp. People were trying to get away, stealing items, and trying to sneak some extra rations of soup. I never heard what happened to the Jews in Buchenwald. There were men screaming for air and still yet more people died. When the holiday came about the prisoners picked up their spoons and started eating like any other day. The rations that were given to the prisoners were hardly enough to keep a full stomach so I was very interested to see if any prisoners would comply with their religion and fast.
