As the prisoners continue with their journey, they are ordered into cattle cars. As they are in the cattle cars people die. As they die they are ordered to throw out the dead bodies. Eliezer has troubles of his own with life. He and his father are thrown to the ground. They are both trying to get the most air as possible. As he was on the ground, he noticed that he was on Juliek, the person that betrayed him. Eliezer finally gets air and hears Juliek music and falls asleep. When he wakes up Juliek is dead and his violet is broken.
After a troubling three days with out food and water, the soldiers make another selection. Eliezer’s father is selected to be the ones to die, but they sneak back over to the other side.
His father is starting to realize that they might not make it. He refuses to move. Eliezer abandons him for the night only to find his sick and unable to move. Eliezer realizes what he has done. He father has dysentery, which make him very thirsty. On January 29, 1945, Eliezer’s father is taken to be killed. Eliezer feels relief rather than sorrow. The camp is ordered to kill all prisoners, but the SS patrol was driven out and many are rescued, including Eliezer.
