As they step out of the train cars, leaving the last of their valuables behind, they are surrounded by the SS with weapons. Men separated from the women. Elie watches his sister and his mother for the last time. I wonder if they would ever see each other again. Why would they separate families? Would they ever get to go back to their carefree lives happy, and together?

An SS officer named Dr. Mengele inspects them, asking some of them questions as he's pointing in directions telling them where to go. Elie lies and says he's eighteen Dr. Mengele points to the left, and does the same for his father. A prisoner tells them they are headed for the crematorium. I wonder how many Jews did this so that you wouldn't be burned. How many lives has that prisoner saved from telling them to lie?
