He goes right on reading the list, and than her dad Walter goes to the officer, and asks him if he missed their name. His answer is "NO". Than the officer got mad at Walter, and hit him. He called him a Sau Jude which means “Pig Jew”. Most of the people that left, didn't make it. One day, one of the youngest solders gave her brother an apple. Marion never knew what a Gas chamber was so an older lady told her ”You go to shower, and you are told to strip in front of the male soldiers. But it was actually a gas Chamber and kills them in like 15 minutes. Then they would pull the teeth of the dead to get gold, then they are put into an oven”.
