  • Last night in Buna
  • The death march begins

Elie was loosing faith in a god because he didn't understand how a god could allow so much evil. They no longer feared death. They no longer felt any pity for anyone. They no longer felt anything.

Every time Elie felt it was all going to end it just kept getting worse.

He felt no pity for the dentist once he found out he was thrown into prison and would be hanged for taking advantage of the prisoners by taking their golden crowns.

  • At Buna, they are given showers, new clothes, and are assigned to a tent

  • Elie gives Franek the gold crown
  • Elie sees Idek with a girl and is whipped

  • A young boy is hung, but doesn't die instantly. Elie is forced to watch the boy dying.

Theme for Chapter 5

On the evening of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) the Jews in Buna gather for a prayer. Eliezer, who once lived for prayer and religious study, rebels against this. He feels that humans are, in a sense, greater than God, stronger than God, to still pray to a God who allows such horrors. "I was the accuser, God the accused… I stood amid the praying congregation, observing it like a stranger."

The theme in this part of chapter 5 is Elie's loss in faith and God.

Summary 4-6

Theme of chapter 6

A lot of things happen in chapters 4-6. The prisoners went through medical checkups and got clean clothes and took showers. Another selection is made, and more people are taken away. Elie and his father both survive this second selection. Elie had to get his foot operated on, and had the chance to be resuced with his father, but didn't stay too scared by the thought of being killed. The Jews are moved to a different camp, and Elizer's dad is chosen to be killed, but is saved. Throughout these chapters, Elie's faith is lost.

Importance of remembering. As his father was choosen to go through the death line as evacuation began Elie ran after his father saving him. Before the evacuation Elie had thoughts of leaving his father to die. but once he saw he was really going to die he raced to him and safed him remembering what he only had left to as family, His father.
