Section 7 of "night" starts off with Elie and his father are put into cattle cars, they felt very weak and felt that there was no reason to live or to fight. The cattle cars would stop at different places to throw out all the dead. At one point, Elie's fathers did not move, Elie had to slap him so that he would wake up. "Father! Father! wake up. They're going to throw you outside"(99). They did not receive any food nor water for nights and days. The train would pass through german towns, where people would throw bread and coins. Everybody in the cattle cars would fight and straggle each other for a piece of bread. Elie would see children killing there own fathers for bread. One night, a person was straggling Elie, Elie's father got the aggressor. That same night they arrived at there destination, everybody felt very weak, Meir Katz one of Elie's fathers friend stayed in the kattle car. They had arrived at Buchenwald. 

Section 8 of "night" starts of arriving at Buchenwald, the jews formed ranks, where they would take a hot shower. Elie's father did not resist, he was to tired, he couldn't go on, Elie argued with his father to not giver up, but Elie relized that there was no way to convince his father. The sirens then suddenly started, Elie left his father. The next morning, Elie started looking for his father, he looked for him for hours, until he finally found him. He had fever, Elie tried taking care of his father but everyday he was getting weaker and weaker. Elie gave up on his father, he let him die. Elie felt relieved that he did not have any responsibility of his father anymore. "I might have found something like: free at last!"(112)

Section 9 of "night" Elie is still in Bunchenwald until April 10, the war was over. Not everybody was freed, only those who remained in the camp. Of those Elie was freed. When Elie was freed, all he could think of was food. When he gets to see himself in the mirror, he did not recognize himself. 

Elie had been through many things, these years he had been in camps were the worst for him, loosing all his family, and loosing his faith in god.
