Night Vocab Paragraph

In the story "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the Jewish people are all put into two ghettos. Elie was a young Jewish boy who was studying the Talmud and the mysticism of the cabbala. They were then told that they were getting deported. Before leaving they gathered in the synagogue and waited. The days before they had listened to the radio, and it told them heartening news on the bombardment of Germany. This gave them the notion that the war was going to end.They were then loaded on to trains where they began their journey. They were then put in lorries. When they arrived at Auschwitz they didn't realize they would be exterminated, but the stench of burning flesh was in the air.
