- Wake up you scum! Report to the front of camp for roll call!

- "I said move this pile back where it was!" (107)
- b-but sir-
- This story takes place during the holocaust. In this specific scene, they are being woken up by a SS Officer, and sent to roll call. They are sent to the front of the concentration camp where roll call if taken, and if any prisoners act out of line, they are killed. After roll call, they head out to complete their assigned tasks.
- In this scene, the prisoners had been assigned a job of moving rocks across a field. If they pick a rock that's too heavy and end up dropping it, they will be shot. If they take a rock that the nazis feel is too light, they will also be shot. They have to pick their rocks carefully.
- I said seize him!
- It was him, him, and him! Seize them!
- But I'm innocent!
- After moving the rocks, The SS officer in command ordered them to move the rocks all the way back across the field. The only reason for this was to play mind games. At Trzebinia, the camp they were stationed at, the nazis' main goal was to break the jews. They had little intention of making do actual work, but mainly focused on torturing the prisoners. This went on for the majority of the day.
- "Remember... I did nothing." (112)
- After a long day of torture, the prisoners reported back to their barracks for roll call again that night. Another Prisoner was struck by the club of an officer which was nothing new, but this time, the prisoner fought back. He wrestled the club out of the officer's hands and eventually fought it free and struck the officer with it. The prisoner was beating the officer with the club when all of a sudden there was a big "CRACK!" The prisoner was shot.
- The camp commander rushed in to see what the commotion was, and safe to say he was not pleased. He started picking people at random in the crowd that were "associated" with the prisoner that struck the officer, out of pure fury. He ended up picking a few men and one child that wasn't much younger than the narrator (the narrator was 15 or so).
- After selecting the people form the crowd, the camp commander orders for them to be hung. He was so blinded by rage that he had no care for what any of them had to say. The young boy pleaded for his life over and over again, but no matter what, the officers wouldn't listen. Before the boy was hung, he said something that would stick with Yanek (the narrator) forever.
