Catherine would “forget” to feed him breakfast, and at dinner time he was to stand in the garage or the basement while the family ate. David began stealing food from kids at school just to survive. That didn’t last long, as the school started to catch on to the missing lunches, which led to phone calls from the principal home to Catherine.

In a way it was like the Holocaust, only not as cruel. The trains would travel at night so that when they went by the few pockets of civilization, no one would see the prisoners. Eventually the railroad ended, and prisoners were chained together a forced to march hundreds of miles to their destinations.

Buckley justifies his assertion through multiple examples that include the use of an anecdote (“It was the very last coach and the only empty seat on the entire train, so there was no turning back…”), ironic incidents (“Suddenly my New Year's Eve resolution struck me. It was now or never… ‘If you are not too busy… would you mind handing me a screwdriver?’ Work stopped and everyone turned his eyes on me, and I experienced that mortification I always feel when I am the center of centripetal shafts of curiosity, resentment, perplexity. ‘I am sorry, sir… I am not supposed to move.
