After four nights on a train, Elli arrives at Auschwitz.  She unknowingly meets Dr. Mengele when she arrives.  Though she was selected to be sent to the gas chambers, Dr. Mengele believes Elli looks like an Aryan girl.  He tells her she is now sixteen(although she is thirteen), and brings her mother along, leaving her Aunt Serena to be sent to the gas chambers.  They never see her again.
