Night

Ch 8 pg 102
Quote: “They didn’t give us anything… they said that if we were ill we should die soon anyway and it would be a pity to waste the food. I can’t go on anymore.”
Reflection: After making the prisoners suffer as much as they have they still have the nerve to tell them if they are ill well just die already and get over it because you are useless. Eli’s father was one of the ill prisoners. He noticed each day his father became weak. This must be a sad progression to see one’s father being a strong man to slowly diminishing because of the concentration camps. The process of watching one’s father die slowly and painfully just not knowing when the moment of death would come is heartbreaking after being through so much together.
