Night pages: 98 - 103


In pages 98 through 103 in the novel Night, the prisoners are told to throw out the bodies of the dead men. "Throw out all the dead! Outside, all the corpses!" Eliezer soon wakes his father up because it seems as if he is a dead man. For many days the Jews survive off of snow becasue of the lack of food provided to them. Some throw bread out for the experience of seeing them fight over food.


Later, Eliezer witnesses a man beaten for bread by his son. The son is then beaten to death also by another person. When the train arrives at Buchenwald, there are only 12 alive.
