"It was late at night. The guards came to unload us. The dead were abandoned in the train. Only those who could still stand were able to get out. Meir Katz stayed in the train. The last day had been the most murderous. A hundred of us had got into the wagon. A dozen of us got out-- among them my father and I."
The entire book seemed very vague and almost a work of fiction until I read that one little paragraph. It just made everything that much more real. Although the book is a memoir, I think it would have made the book more realistic. I just think people could empathize a little more that way.
