Example Of Evacuation
“Tomorrow , right after nightfall, the camp will start on its march. Block by block. The sick can remain in the infirmary. They will not be evacuated”(pg81).
After nightfall why? Was it because it was too hot throughout the day or did the officers just want to wait till night? If the sick were not evacuated were they properly cared for or not?
“After the war, I learned the fate of those who had remained at the infirmary. They were, quite simply, liberated by the Russians, two days after the evacuation”(82).
Did the officers know that after the evacuation that the Russians were coming.
“There was whispering from one bunk to the other; with a little luck, the Russians would be there before the evacuation. Hope was still alive”(83).
The Russians

As the narrator remarks, "Today is wonderfully good."…

    During Winter, the prisoners felt true bitter cold. Because of the incredibly cool weather, Eliezer’s foot swelled. He consulted a fellow Jew, a doctor prior to imprisonment, and is told that he needs immediate operation to prevent amputation. In the hospital, Eliezer was fed properly and didn’t have to work. After he awakened from his operation, Eliezer was afraid to ask the doctor if his leg has been amputated, but the doctor assured him that “in two weeks you'll be fully recovered… able to walk like the others.” (page 80). Two days after his operation, Eliezer heard that the front was advancing to Buna, and that very day the camp was ordered to evacuate. Hospital occupants were not to be evacuated, however, and Eliezer worries that they…

    Every night the clock struck twelve midnight she had woke up. The loud sounds of heavy wheels moving through the street struck her ears. The laundress had always wondered what was out there. Whereas her husband told her not to look as she heard the sounds. This didn’t stop her from looking. She was determined to figure out what was out there and asked the woman who washed in the tub next her, “what you are hearing is the Army of the Dead. They are Confederate soldiers who died in hospital without knowing that the war was over. Each night, they rise from their graves and go to reinforce Lee in Virginia to strengthen the weakened Southern forces." Remotely the next night at twelve o'clock she woke up. Despite…

    War Medical History

    Like Confederate doctor John Chilsolm, many surgeons and medical aids kept close records of surgeries to learn and expand from past mistakes and triumphs. The meticulous accounts of early and evolved surgeries show us the colossal progress surgeons made in their techniques over the course of the war and their hope that it would help future physicians. For example, the six-volume Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion published by the Surgeon General’s Office just after the war ended gives extensive statistical data of the war. The records detail the number of men who survived to reach medical care, which improved by over 10% by the second year. Countless personal journals written by members of all ranks of the medical staff provide a broad range of information on everyday medical treatment. On April 2, 1863 Jonah Franklin Dyer, acting medical director of the II Corps of the Army of Potomac, wrote in his personal records “I am to have a drill of the ambulances belonging to the division this afternoon, for the purpose of instructing the men in their duties” (Franklin, 68). Much of his accounts go into detail of the processes that were implemented to make organization of the sick and injured men easier and more reliable. As the head of the II Corps, most of his work was overseeing the tasks of other men and instructing them on their work with the wounded. The diary of Amanda Akin Stearns was published in 1909 after she agreed that her memories could help preserve the lessons learned in war. During her time as a nurse, Akin wrote to her family often. In 1863 on her first evening in Armory Square Hospital she wrote, “I meekly followed through the long ward…and with a sinking heart watch the head of a poor fellow in the last stages of typhoid” (Stearns, 39). Her published diary provides a glimpse of what life was like when…

    It took several of days for them to arrive. They was treated terrible like a lifeless soul. The people did not have no clue what was going on. They did not know why the Nazi’s was taking them, or where they were going. The journey was very harsh. A fifteen year old boy that survived had wrote, “Some 20 railway cars was waiting on us. . . There were 70 to 80 people in a car . . After a while there was muffled sound of closing latches...the whistle blew and train started moving slowly. It was April 7, 1943. Penned in and cramped, we departed from our homeland without being able to see it” (Jack). “The doors were shut, leaving us almost in darkness. The grills,too,were closed to prevent escaped. Air entered only through the cracks. So we travelled 24 hours, without food or water. We were hungry and thirsty. But the desire and hope to see our families made us forget everything else”…
