Elie's father was a supportive and caring figure who tried to protect his son during their time in concentration camps. He was a source of strength and reassurance for Elie, providing love and guidance in the face of unimaginable suffering. However, he eventually succumbed to the harsh conditions of the camp and passed away.

His father was a cultured, rather unsentimental man. There was never any display of emotion, even at his home. He was more concerned about others, than his own family. He also ran a store in signet

This is the paragraph/s:

For a ration of bread i was able to exchange cots to be next to my father. When the doctor arrived in the afternoon, i went to tell him that my father was very ill.

"Bring him here!"

I explained that he could not stand up, but the doctor would not listen. And so, with great difficulty, i brought my father to him. He stared at him, then asked curtly:

"What do you want?"

"My father is sick," I answered in his place... "Dysentery..."

"That's not my business. I'm a surgeon. Go on. Make room for the others!"

My protests were in vain.

Elie had to forget of his father's death to survive in the camp. Remembering of this tragic event would have cost him his mind, which would soon lead to his life.
