All he could do now was be there for his father and help hi be as comfortable as possible till the end came. The doctor had given Wiesel advice and thought about it good and hard. “I listened to him without interrupting. He was right, I thought deep down. Not daring to admit it to myself. Too late to save your old father…You could have two rations of bread, two rations of soup…” (pg111) Wiesel couldn’t do it he loved his father and couldn’t allow him to suffer, so he went and got soup for him but his father was refusing to eat all he wanted was water. Eliezer was moaning in pain as many prisoners were and unable to control the pain officers would come along and beat the old man until he was quiet but that he wasn’t and the SS would continue to beat him. It was time to sleep and when Wiesel woke the next morning he woke to his father gone he must have died during the night. “No prayers were said over his tomb. No candle lit in his memory. His last word had been my name. He had called out to me and I had not answered.”
