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.

Elie Wiesel lived in the ghetto for approximately one year, from 1940 to 1944. During this time, he and his family faced increasing persecution and hardship before being deported to concentration camps.
When Elie Wiesel was liberated from Buchenwald in 1945, having also been in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buna, he imposed a ten-year vow of silence upon himself before trying to describe what had happened to him and over six million other Jews. When he finally broke that silence, he had trouble finding a publisher. Such depressing subject matter.
In the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, New Year's Day was different because he had lost his faith in God and humanity due to the horrors he experienced in the concentration camps. Instead of celebrating or finding hope in the new year, Wiesel felt despair and emptiness. The holiday that was once a time for optimism and renewal became a reminder of the darkness and suffering he endured.
