Throughout this chapter, the condition of Elies father gradually gets worse and worse. In the beginning of the chapter, the prisoners are evacuated from Buna and are warned that any prisoner that stops running will be shot. Eliezer keeps himself running along with the other prisoners for his father, who is running near him. After running all night and covering more than forty-two miles, the prisoners find themselves in a deserted village.
While they are in the village, Elie and his dad decide not to sleep, because they fear that they will die while they are sleeping. After this night, the prisoners travel more untill they reach the Gleiwitz camp. Here at this camp, the prisoners go through another selection process and Elies dad is considered unhealthy. But with the help of Elie, his father manages to make it to the healthy side.
After this selection process, the healthy prisoners are loaded intop catle cartds and instructed to get rid of the dead bodies. While they are traveling on the carts, local citizens in a german town throw loaves of bread onto the trains so that they can watch the prisoners kill each other for the bread.
