This section details what Elie and his family experience during transport to a concentration camp. he says, "Lying down was out of the quetion..." The most significant event involves Madame Schätcher and her son. She becomes hysterical in the "hermetically sealed" cattle car and begins to imagine that she sees fire and that they will all be burned alive. Eventually, others in the cattle car tie her up and gag her in order to keep her silent.
The section ends with Elie and his family disembarking the train at Birkenau, a reception centre for Auschwitz.
