Chapter 4
As the prisoner’s game with death continue, they had much more hard times to follow the already unbearable journey. They were all inspected for health issues. They also had a dental inspection for gold caps from their teeth.
Eliezer was picked to work with electrical fittings after he was examined. Soon after, he finds out that his father is in the same unit. They also got a huge break after finding out that there head master of their housing block, General Jew, is very kind and not as violent as many of the other head masters. Eliezer is called for his dentist appointment for his gold crown to be pulled. With this pain, his pleads he is sick and it is postponed. As it was postponed, the dentist is caught selling the caps for a profit. He is hung for this action and Eliezer never gets his crown pulled. A man sees a bowl of soup unattended and a prisoner tries to get the soup. As a result he is shot on the spot. A week later, Nazis publicly hang people.As many of the prisoners start to question God’s existence, the prisoners are being killed just for the liking of the leaders and soldiers. Many people think God doesn’t care. Eliezer examination is that God was hung just like one of the child in the gallows.
Chapter 5
As their long and painful journey as a Jewish person, they still come together to help each other. As life goes on, they celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the New Year, and Yom Kipper, the Day of Atonement. On Rosh Hashanah, they all come together to pray and praise God. Eliezer is having trouble finding a reason to praise God because of all the bad things that has happened to them.
His lack of faith in God leads him to mock God and he says they are not the chosen ones to live but to be massacred. He also starts to believe that man is better and stronger than God. On Yum Kipper, Eliezer decides to eat because on Yum Kipper should be a day of fasting. He does this to support his theory. As days go on there is another selection and he is separated from his father and has to work in the building unit. During the selection his father is one of the many to weak to work and is selected to be executed. He will never see his father again. The only inheritance he gets is a spoon and knife. A miracle has occurred and his father had been selected to stay and they are reunited. They flee from the camp to try to escape to the Germans, but a few days after the Russians release all of the prisoners.
As their luck keeps running out, they all start to lose hope in God. One of the rabbis that Eliezer talks to even stops believing because he does not understand why God would do this to them
