They were being transfered to another camp. How you may ask? Again they traveled by wagon. There on each wagon 100 squished with no air to breathe. Not many survived you may have thought that at least 50 might live? Well you're wrong not 50 not 40 not even 30 lived 20 survived the cattle wagon trip. They traveled days and nights once in a while they had food for them. That was the only way to keep them strong and keep them in agonizing pain. The guards got pleasure of throwing bread and watching them fight for the food. Many disliked the cattle rides. Who would enjoy being stuck in a car for hours and hours even days? I know I wouldn't. Once they found these people dead the grave diggers. Believe it or not one of those people close to death was Elie's father. If you were in that position what would you do? Would you leave him there or follow him?

Through out the story we find out that Elie's dad is on the verge of death. Elie needs to figure out what to do, he can't accept the fact that his father is about to die. The grave diggers were about to take him but Elie was lucky enough to get him back. He did this by slapping, hitting and screaming out to him. Elie did everything to get well again by bringing him his soup and water. Finally the guards told him that he could no longer get him anything they realized that he no longer had life in him he would eventually die. Before Elie's dad died they were at the
Appelplatz camp. As usual they were counted one by one. Elie's father knew he could not go on anymore. He begged and begged until Elie finally agreed to let him sleep there. The next day he remembered that he still had his father so he went out looking for him, and he found him. Later throughout the that time Elies father grew weaker and weaker. On January 29, 1945. Elie had awaken and his father no longer laid on the cot that he had been on there laid another sick person.

Elie realized he didn't need his father. After he died Elie almost felt relieved, he didnt have to worry about his father anymore. He can focus on surviving himself. When he died they took roll call and the prisoners found out that the camp was being evacuated. The SS officers were told to evacuate the prisoners one at a time, but then they decided to evacuate all of them at a time. Then the Germans came and started to librate the camp. The officers said to go back to their blocks, they started shooting, and yelling. The Germans won and they were librated. Everyone ran to get food they no longer seeked revenge. They wanted to eat. Elie was free!!
