The Holocaust

We were loaded on to trains, not allowed to bring anything with us. We were being transported like cattle to the middle of nowhere. No one knew what was going on. The ones that did tried to flee and were shot on the spot. The train stopped, we were at our final stop. We were pulled off the train. Then they herded us to a single file line. At the end of the line there was a single man. He would look the prisoner over and point to the right or to the left. I got the point to the right. Was this good, was this bad, what will happen to me? We were then taken to a camp and we were told that it was Auschwitz. I later found out what happened to the people who went to the left, they were gassed and then burned. I survived but my family and friends would never be seen again.
