Night Section 5 Summary- Adrian Aguilar-4
Section 5 begins on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the last day of the Jewish year. The word last seems to spark interest in the other prisoners because it makes them wonder, what if it really was the last day of them being trapped, or maybe it would be the last day of their life. As the other prisoners pray, Elie decides to criticize God and all the bad that he has allowed to happen. "Why would I bless him? Because he caused thousands of children to burn in his mass graves?"(67) Elie has completely rebelled against God and has lost his faith because he cannot believe all the atrocities happening. This is completely ironic because in the beginning of the book Elie was a very religious teen who was eager to learn about Kabbalah. This just comes to show that his faith has died. Elie's rebellion is later demonstrated on the day of Yom Kippur. On this day, Jews usually fast, but Elie decides to eat anyway because his father told him to and because he thought it would be silly to fast when he has lost all hope in God. "And I nibbled on my crust of bread. Deep inside me, I felt a great void opening." (69)

After the new year, there was another selection. Elie passed the test, but his father unknowingly did not. He was told to stay at the camp while the other healthy inmates worked. Before this, Elie's father gives him a knife and a spoon to keep and not to sell. Elie takes them and then reluctantly goes to work knowing he might never see his dad again. However, when he returned he found his father still alive because it had appeared that another selection had taken place and he passed that one. Unfortunately, Akiba the Drummer, did not pass.

Section 5 Summary, The Loss of Faith, Alfredo Arroyo-1 and Alondra Tamayo-3
Section 5 of “Night”
starts off with the end of the Jewish year, Rosh Hashanah, where all the Jews
of the camp gather to worship their God in a service. Many worship God the last
day of the year and for some their last day of life. At this point anger
strikes Elie, he asks “Why but why would I bless him? Because he caused
thousands of children to burn in his mass graves?”(67). This quote demonstrates his rage that he has toward
his God. Elie blames him for his family’s separation and others deaths. I believe
that Elie does not neglect his existence, I believe that he no longer believes
in a purpose to worship him. This is later demonstrated when he decides not to
fast for the holiday, not because he did not believe in it, because he wanted
to rebel and show man was greater.
A few days after the New Year selection commence. Elie
was no longer with his father and he now worked in the construction site. The other
prisoners would usually taunt him and others Jews about all they were going to
have to survive. During the selection the Blockalteste suggest they run when
being tested. When it is Elie’s turn he manages to sprint through the selection
and pass, unfortunately his father does not pass.
 |
| This is one of the ways prisoners were forced to die if they failed the selection. This is why he did not want his father to fail the selection. |
Elie’s father tells Elie there is
another selection test and he gives Elie his spoon and knife. After a day of
worrying Elie finds his father passed the selection and he gives his father
back his utensils. However not everyone managed to pass the selections, Akiba
Drumer lost his life in the selection after he lost his faith. Later during the
start of January Elie’s foot becomes inflated and must be operated. He results
okay, but must remain on break for two weeks in the hospital. It is not bad,
they get fed a little more and get a break from work, however before Elie is
fully rested the Russians approach the camp.

The officers of the camp decide to
evacuate the prisoners and leave the sick behind. Elie then has to decide to
march in his foot or stay in the camp. He decides to go with his father and in
the afternoon the march starts.

Jackiee Salinas Per 2 Section 5 Death or Life your choice?
Death or life? Your choice? This was the big question in section 5 of night. Elie decides for himself. In this section he didn’t want to leave his father alone during the holocaust. He shows this throughout the whole book. In the back of his mind he knew that one of them will not be able to survive. Elie thought this was the time. One day he was working. He could not stand on his leg finally he decided to go to the infirmary. The doctor had said that if he had come later his leg would have been amputated. They decided to operate on him during the time he had to rest, there was an evacuation taking place. He did not know what was going to happen to him nor his father. They could both stay in the infirmary, but they didn’t know if it was life or death. So they decided to evacuate with the rest. Elie could no longer feel his leg sooner or later it could be amputated I guess you have to wait for the next chapter to find out. Until next time. J

Prisoner Jews praying for Rosh Hashanah
Chapter 5 begun with the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Despite the cruel conditions, prisoner Jews still gather around to pray. However Eliezer did not. His faith in God has vanished since he'd been exposed to this harsh genocide. He no longer felt the need to worship and fast for Yim Kippur in honor of God because God had done nothing to help his situation. His father didn't want him to fast either for the sake of his health but he still felt some guilt after his meals.
Utensils used during the Holocaust
Selection had come. Eliezer was given advice to run as fast as he can so he isn't marked as weak. He passed selection even with his injured foot and afterward found out that his dad had passed as well. However, when the day for the those who did not pass selection were to be executed, Eliezer's father was told to stay behind as well. In fear of being on the selection list, Eliezer's father handed Eliezer all his valuables including his knife and spoon. Though it was not in Eliezer's desire to take the utensils and wanted to believe losing his father was inevitable he knew there was a possibility and took the silverware. Fortunately his dad took them back at the end of the day because he was safe.
Hospital in Concentration Camp
During winter, Eliezer's foot starts to hurt with the cold. He pays a visit to the doctor's and it turns out he'll need to have it amputated or get an operation. He starts to get comfortable in the better conditions of the hospital but his bed neighbor warns him he shouldn't get so used to being disabled. When the next selection roles around all in the hospital will be executed according to the neighbor. But then again his neighbor could just be trying to get him out of the hospital...

Death Around Every Corner
The Jewish new year approaches and this causes Elie to question his survival. Its the last day of the Jewish year and he wonders if it will actually be his last day on earth. He is angry at god because he allows such suffering to happen in the world. " Why would I bless him? Because he caused thousands of children to burn in his mass graves?" (67) He doesn't believe a god that kills innocent people deserves to be praised. He begins to rebel against all he has ever believed in. On the day of Yom Kipper he decides not to fast. He does this in order to rebel against god and because his father asks him not to. After New Year there is another selection and Elie and his father are separated. Elie is sent to work in construction detail and his father stays behind. His father gives him his spoon and knife because he does not believe he will pass the next selection. When Elie returns from work he sees that his father did pass the selection but Akiba Drumer did not pass. Winter had started and the prisoners had to suffer through the harsh climate of the winter storms. Elie's foot began to swell and he had to go to the infirmary. The doctor says that he has to have emergency surgery. He liked being in the infirmary because there was more bread and he lived in better conditions but he was still worried about his father and selections. Elie's neighbor told him that there are also selections in the infirmary. He told Elie that he should leave as soon as he could walk because the weak and the useless were executed. Elie did not know if he should believe the man. Ever since he had been a prisoner he had seen so much darkness and hatred that he did not know whether or not to believe the man. He could take the chance the chance that he was telling the truth. One day he heard that they were evacuating the camp. He had to decide to go with his father or stay in the infirmary. He did not want to be separated by his father but he also didn't want to die. He decided to go with his father. Although, Elie's father hoped that they didn't regret evacuating the camp.
 |
| .Elie didn't have to leave the infirmary. The doctor had offered to allow him and his father to stay behind but Elie did not. He didn't stay because there was rumors that they were going to blow up the camp in order to hide all evidence and kill all the left over prisoners. Elie wanted to save him and his father. He later found out that the people left in the infirmary were freed by the liberating army |
 |
| These prisoners were getting ready to be evacuated from the camp. Elie and his father were among these prisoners. Elie and his father hoped that they wouldn't regret this because Elie's foot was not fully recovered. If Elie's foot got worst they would have to amputate it and then he would be useless to the camp. That would put him at risk for execution. |
 |
| Elie saw this throughout his life in concentration camps. He had lost his faith in god. His rebellion was fueled by these images in his head. A young boy of sixteen had seen what grown men should never see in there life time. He hated the thought of praising a god that would hurt innocent people. |
The Last Day-Jason Negrete P.3-Guadalupe Perez P.6
The Jewish year was ending. It was the last day, but to them it also meant something tragic. To them it meant the day that they could die, the last die of their lives, when they finally sink into the darkness of the night. Elie's innocence died that day and before him stood an afterlife of pain and suffering. Elie gave up all that he believed in even God. On the day of Yom Kippur Elie did not fast as an act of protest to God's betrayal. To make matters worse Elie wasn't even working in the same block as his father. They were separated for the first time since being forced out of his home
. As a new year "gift" the Jews would go through another selection. Elie manages to pass but his father gets called up by Dr.doctor Mengele during their dinner. After being put through a big scare, they are reunited again and went back to work as if nothing ever happened.
As winter arrived the work became more unbearable, Elie's foot began to swell from the cold. After it became too much for him to handle he went to the infirmary to get cured. At first, Elie feared that his foot might get amputated. If he was unable to work, he would surely get killed and leave his father to fend for himself. Elie was warned that the Russians were coming to attack and the camp had to be evacuated. In Elie's mind the sick would be killed in order to leave safely. He decided to escape and find his father even though his foot wasn't fully recovered.
The camp was evacuated by block numbers. Elie's block number was one of the last to go. After they cleaned their camp they marched out of Buna into the most difficult journey yet.

Before the Night Ends Ivy Mach- 1
It was the last day of the Jewish year, Rosh Hashanah.
He starts to question again. He question how he is still alive, and when will
his last day be. He feels that everyday can be his last day. He is mad at God
for all this suffering and why haven't he done anything to save them. He thinks
that he should not be praised. Then, the Jews go on a fast, Elie rebels and
eats his ration of bread with his father. After the Jewish new years, another
selection was announced. Elie was separated from his father to work in the
building factory. He worries that his father might not pass the selection and
he prays for him. On the day of the selection Elie's father gives Elie his
knife and spoon, as his inheritance. The next day, a miracle happened when he
returned from work, they have survived the selection.
Winter has arrived and it has started snowing. The
prisoners had changed into slightly thicker clothes and start to suffer the
winter season. Elie's foot starts to swell up due to the cold. He goes to the infirmary
to get it checked. The doctor says that he might need an operation, and might
not be able to use his foot. A few days later, he was told that he didn’t need
an operation after all and it was only infected & will heal in a few days. He
was told that he will be up and running in two weeks. Rumors has been spreading
that the Russians were approaching and there might be an evacuation. The next
day, Elie's father came in and asked if he was strong enough to go on the
journey. Elie packed up and got as much bread and clothes as he can and tried
to find a piece cloth for his foot. At nightfall, in the middle of a snowstorm,
they began their evacuation of Buna.

Losing Faith Sonia Sanchez Per-2
LOSING FAITH
Have you ever believed in something when
you were a kid, and out of no where you just don’t believe any more? Well, Elie
felt that same way with God. Well being in concentration camp Elie has been
losing faith in God little by little. Now, when the end is near Elie prays once
in a while. Having selection, choosing who will live and die, Elie is happy
because he passed, but when he finds out that his father didn’t, he starts to
worry. His father says his good byes to his son thinking it’s the end for him.
Image thinking your parents telling you good bye? It will hurt a lot. Elie
comes back knowing that his father passed the second selection. After, its
winter and Elie gets his foot swollen by the cold. He ends up going to the
infirmity and well all this is happening, the Germans keep coming closer to the
camp. The Nazis tell the people in the infirmity that they won’t be leaving the
camp. Elie doesn’t want to be separated by his father so; he tells the doctor
that he feels better with his foot. All this happened in CH. 5 and if this
happened to you……. Would you have done the same thing? Knowing that if you
stayed, you would be liberated but separated from your parents? What would YOU do?
