Chapter 7 Night

It is very cold as they the group travels on the train. Elie’s dad looked dead and the grave diggers tried to throw him off the train. Elie was able to get him to breathe and open his eyes. The grave diggers left him alone. However the grave diggers did throw 20 people off the train and left them on the snowy ground.

The trained continued to move. The people of the train stayed close together to stay warm and ate snow to survive. When the train arrived at Buchenwald those alive got off and the dead were left on the train.

I know Elie was very afraid when his dad looked like he had died that night on the train in the cold. Elie fights for life not only for himself but also his dad. They need each other for comfort and the drive to survive.
