• They are killed by the Germans because they are no longer useful.

• They are loaded onto hospital trains and moved to another camp.

• They are liberated (freed) by the advancing Russian Army.

• The book does not say, but we assume they are left for dead.

Why does the head of block want the barracks cleaned before they are evacuated and leave the camp?

• He wants the next group of prisoners who stays there to feel comfortable.

• He wants to trick the other prisoners into thinking his block is better.

• The SS guards are arriving soon, and it needs to be spotless.
