When did Wiesel say the travelers left their illusions behind?

In Night, Elie Wiesel stated that the travelers left their illusions behind when they arrived at Auschwitz, the notorious Nazi concentration camp. The illusions that the Jews had clung to throughout their persecution by the Nazis, such as the hope that they would be spared or that their lives would return to normal, were shattered upon their arrival at the death camp. Wiesel's memoir recounts his own experiences as a teenager in Auschwitz, where he and his father were subjected to unspeakable horrors and witnessed the deaths of countless others.
