jan 17, 1945 - Elie Wiesel (Survivor)

Description:

In the novel "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Buna prisoners are getting prepared to be evacuated from Buna/Monowitz - Sub-camp.

"They came back shattered. They had difficulty opening their mouths. All they could utter was one word: "Evacuation." The camp was going to be emptied and we would be sent to the rear.
Where to? Somewhere in deepest Germany. To other camps; there was no shortage of them." (Weisel, 81)

"People were running, calling to one another. In every block, the inmates prepared for the journey ahead." (Weisel, 81)

Marched from Buna to Buchenwald
