Many Jews are are running away from gunfire but many cannot survive. Zalman is a boy running next to Eliezer who cannot survive because he decides he can run no rurther and is literally killed by being ran over by everyone else running for there own lives. This is another sight that is unimaginable for us today.

After running, they find themselves in an empty village/town.

Rabbi Eliahou is a kind man who is searching for his son and Eliezer lies to the Rabbi that he has not seen his son. But, in fact, he saw his son abandon his father and Eliezer only wishes to not do what Eliahou's son did.

This book presents many interesting short-stories contained inside that show how the Jews were treated. It's shocking and ridicoulous that humans would treat others in this way.

In section 5 of Night (pages 66-84), Elie seems betrayed by God and cannot give thanks to God because of the suffering he has gone through so far.

However, after a selection, his father has survived somehow. Eventually, Eliezer tells a rabbi about his lack of faith in God.

As Eliezer is in the hospital because of the severe cold weather, news that the Russian army is coming provides hope. The Germans decide to leave because of the news and Eliezer and his father decide to evacuate as well. Later, they realize they made a terrible decision because if they had stayed, they would have beens saved by the Russians. Little mistakes in these situations can be the difference between death and freedom.

Many jews are horrified at seeing a site where babies are being burned. Many become paranoid and others begin to pray. Eliezer's father is badly beaten when he asks if he could go to the bathroom.

Many begin to pray as a way to express how they feel since they are not aloud to have freedom. They only have to chooses which are to die or do manual labor. This seems inhuman and is very shocking to some.

Night pages: 23-28

A young boy, the narrator, named Eliezer lives in a Transylvanian town of Sighet during 1941. Eliezer has three sisters named Hilda, Bea, and Tzipora. The narrator studies the Talmud and the Cabbala. In 1944, the Hungarians govern the Fascits and the German armies are located in Hungary and march into Sighet. From this, many Jews' confidence lowers as they have to wear yellow stars. They are later pushed into a small space with German soldiers keeping the Jews in order. I am starting to notice the cruelty that was involved during this time period between the German Soldiers against the Jewish communtiy. In the next pages, I will learn more about the harsh conditions for the Jews.
