Put This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen back in order

Seven beats from our edition of This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen by Tadeusz Borowski, shuffled. Drag them, or use the arrows, until the story runs straight. No account, no streak to lose.

  1. Privileged hunger The narrator describes the relative comfort of the prisoners who work the transports, their well-fed state set against the camp's general starvation.
  2. To the ramp Tadek joins the labor detail headed to the railway platform to unload an incoming transport of Jews.
  3. The transport opens The freight cars are flung open to reveal masses of suffering people, the dead, and the dying crowded together after days without air or water.
  4. Selection The new arrivals are divided, with a few sent to labor and the majority, including children and the elderly, directed toward the gas chambers.
  5. Hauling the remains Tadek and the crew clear luggage, belongings, abandoned babies, and corpses from the cars amid overwhelming stench and noise.
  6. Sickness and rage Overwhelmed, the narrator grows nauseated and feels a disturbing hatred toward the victims, a sign of the camp's moral damage.
  7. The next train As one transport is cleared, another approaches, underscoring the relentless, mechanized scale of the killing.
