They were awake from dogs barking and crying sounds, and there sluggish were taken and they walk all the way to the concentration camp. They were at the concentration camp and Szymon found his father at the other side of the fence and he told him to go back to the other side because they would not help him if he got sick because he at the wrong side.

Next door to his building were russians that sell coco and his dad bought coco from the russian people and gave the coco to Szymon. He was lucky to not work at the underground factory, but he work at rebuilding the railroad. 500 people died standing up for 3 days and only 5 people survived from his building.The camp gaven them food only one time a day.
