Rawicz went on trial and was then sentenced to 25 years of labor. That is when the journey began. He was being sent to an unknown destination with thousands of other prisoners aboard a train. The train ride in itself was hell. There were freezing cold conditions and everyone was so tightly condensed into a small place where no one could move.
