Elie and his father were at Auschwitz for about three months. After that, they were transferred to the Buchenwald concentration camp in January 1945.
According to Elie's book Night, his father died in Buchenwald. Just before the camp was liberated by the American Army. Chlomo (also spelled Shlomo), Elie's father was diagnosed with dysentery (disease of the intestines) and sent to the crematory where he was killed.
They were sent to Auschwitz. Later, Elie and his father were moved to Buchenwald.
Elie's father was denied medical care at Buchenwald because the camp was overcrowded, resources were limited, and the priority was on keeping the prisoners alive for labor. The Nazis saw the sick and weak as expendable and did not want to waste resources on them.
Elie Wiesel's father did not die during the death march. He died after the death march, in Buchenwald. He died from dysentery (also, starvation and exhaustion). In Night, Elie said that his father was suffering from dysentery, and had kept asking for water, when one of the guards hit him over the head with a truncheon, and by morning he was dead.
