Night Abur Chol 6
Wiesel, his family, and 80 others are packed into a train car. It is very packed and there is no space to lay down. Not everyone can even sit at the same time. Everyone must take turns sitting. The Jews are scared into not running away because if one person escapes they will all be shot. In the middle of the night a lady named Mrs. Scharter has a vision of a fire. She tells the others “Jews listen to me! I can see a fire! A horrible fire! It’s a furnace!” I predict this is foreshadowing of what will happen to the Jews. It might mean they will literally be burned or a metaphor for the hardships they will face.
