Pages 47-65
In the new camp, Buna, they were well received by the other Jews, according to them, it was a good camp, but the most important thing was not to be sent to the construction Kommando.
They passed by the showers and after that they knew their new leader, he was a fat German, and he like children very much. He told Ellie to give him his shoes, but Ellie refused to give them to him. The leader helped him to stay with his father in the new Kommando.
The next days, he was checked by the doctors and by a dentist who noticed he had a gold crown in his teeth, and he was listed by his number.
They were assigned to the orchestra block, in which there was music at all times, and they had to march, al ways the same. After that, they were told to go out while marching; Ellie and his father knew new neighbors, the musicians. According to them the work was not difficult, just a little bit tired, at the end it was a good Kommando. The unique bad thing was the Kapo, he had bad moments, so they had to be out of his way.
In the work he was near his father, he felt very happy. There they met Yossi and Tibi, two brothers whose parents had already died.
One day, Ellie was told to go after the meal to meet the dentist. When he was there he told the dentist he didn’t feel ok, so he asked for some time to feel better, the dentist said yes. Of course it was all an excuse, but he returned a week later with the same excuse, the dentist agreed with the child and he allowed coming back later. A week after the dentist was taken and exterminated, his gold crown was safe, he was glad, and he didn’t feel pity for the man.
He knew a French girl from the work, but she never spoke, Ellie thought he didn’t know German. One day he was hit by Idek, when he was mad at nothing. Ellie crossed his path and he started hitting him, as Ellie didn’t shout the Kapo thought it was a defiance sign so he continued hitting him until he calmed down.
After this the Kapo sent him to work again, as if nothing had happened.
Blood was everywhere in his body and the French girl smiled at him, after a moment of fear; she neared and told him not to be afraid, in an almost perfect German.
Years later, after the liberation Ellie found this girl in the metro, in Paris.
He spoke to her for a long time, and he found out that she was a Jew and she spoke German.
One day Franek noticed his gold crown and told him to give it to him, after a lot of fights. Franek got the crown because a dentist took it out with a spoon. He sometimes received and extra soup. Two weeks later Poles were transferred to another camp.
After the Poles left he had a horrible experience, he discovered Idek was with a girl, and he started laughing, but Idek knew who was the person who was spying him and he received a punishment for that. He was given 25 lashes in front of all the Jews, then he had to stand up and he was told not to say anything to anyone.
Days after, the alert started sounding. Everybody was ordered to go inside the blocks, the camp seemed abandoned, but in middle of the street were two cauldrons of soup, all of them were hungry and wanted the soup but just one person decided to go for it, he was eating when someone shot and killed him. By that moment the factory was being bombed, all the Jews were happy to know it, even they were happy to clear the ruins.
Another day, Ellie remember a special hanging where an Oberkapo who was giant and good person, was the victim.
He was called pipel, and he was extremely beautiful, like an angel. After come situations the pipel was tortured, for possessing arms but he remained silent, then he was condemned to death.
In a roll call, they were going to die. All the Jews were looking at the boy, even the Lagerkapo refused to act as executioner, and the child keep silent. At one moment, the three chairs of the three men were removed, the two men died, but the child was still breathing, and he remained like that for more than half an hour, and the others were forced to look how the angel lingered between life and death.
Behind Ellie was a man asking: “For God’s sake, where is God?”
