Section 4

I found out that there were actually trains that transported Jewish people to concentration camps during World War II, just like in the book. They actually told the people that they were taking them to different places to protect them and that they would be taken home after the war was over. Some boxcars had up to 150 people stuffed inside of them in freezing and burning hot temperatures. They were not given food or bathroom breaks. The saddest thing that I read on this website was that the longest transport on a train was 18 days and when the Germans opened up the boxcar at the end of the journey, everyone inside had already died.
