Elie chose not to fast on Yom Kippur while he was in the concentration camp because he felt that he was living in an environment where every man was fighting for himself, and divine justice seemed absent in such a place. He had lost his faith and saw fasting as an act of rebellion against a God who had allowed such atrocities to occur.
