Summary Of Night By Elie Wiesel

Not long after they heard them into train cars and shipped them off to auschwitz. When they arrived Eliezer and his father were separated from his mom and sister. They had an evaluation to see if they were going to die or not but none of them knew they were going to die if they failed the evaluation. Eliezer and his father passed evaluation and when they were brought to their cabin they saw babies getting burned by the truck load. They were shaved, stripped, disinfected,
