In pages 104 - 115, Eliezer's father seems very close to dying. From this, Eliezer has thoughts of abandoning his father but later feels guilty for feeling so. While in his bed, others steal Eliezer's father's food and beat him as well.
Eliezer's father is later taken into a crematory. Eliezer shows almost no emotion to this situation. His mind is strictly on food and how to get. He is later rescued by the American army. When he finally looks into a mirror, he notices his unfamiliar face. “a corpse gazed back at me.”
