NIGHT: BLOG 2

PART 1: Elie and his father share a very strong bond. They do everything they can to avoid separation and stay together. After Elie gets his foot operated on, he and his father must make the decision to be evacuated with others from the camp or to stay in the hospital at the camp. They chose to stay together regardless of where they go. Elie was terrified to lose his father when he was "thinking not about death but about not wanting to be separated from his father." Elie goes on to say, "We had already suffered so much, endured so much together. This was not the moment to separate."

PART 2: The concentration camp "

Buna" was located in Auschwitz, Nazi Germany. Buna was Auschwitz largest sub-camp, "home" to 7,000 Nazi/German Soldiers and almost 14,000 Jews. The conditions were terrible; Buna was a killing camp so there were multiple gas chambers. The Jews were forced into labor, eating very little to no food at all, and to live in close quarters which caused a plethora of diseases.
