Chapter 6 Summary

This chapter begins with Georg's arrival to Zeitz, giving a little comparison between there and Auschwitz, like the train ride there. Next, Georg describes the Latvians he saw. He knew they were Latvians because of the letter L in their jackets, and that they were from the country's capital, Riga. These Latvians escape later on, and everyone gets called on Appell as punishment. Later on, He tries to trade with the Yiddish, expecting to get something more to eat rather than bread and coffee. From this trades, he got a bowl of potato scraps, a lot more that he would have expected, since he was treated by the Yiddish as a non-Jew. Among the important things that happenned in this chapter, there is the beating he got from a Todt (Yellow overalled serviceman).
