Eliezer hesitated to give his sick father water because he was overwhelmed by the dire circumstances and the struggle for survival in the concentration camp. He feared that giving water could draw attention to himself or his father, potentially leading to their punishment or even death. Additionally, Eliezer grappled with his own exhaustion and despair, which clouded his judgment and intensified his internal conflict about prioritizing his father's needs versus his own survival.
When Eliezer and his father are finally separated, Eliezer experiences profound despair and fear. The separation signifies not only the loss of his father's support and companionship but also the harsh reality of their situation in the concentration camps. Overwhelmed by loneliness and hopelessness, Eliezer feels a deep sense of vulnerability, knowing that he must now navigate the brutal conditions of the camp alone. This moment marks a pivotal turning point in his struggle for survival and his diminishing faith in humanity.

The gypsy strikes Eliezer's father because he asked where the toilets were.
Eliezer and his father were assigned to work in the electrical warehouse at Auschwitz. Eliezer was given the task of sorting electrical equipment, while his father was responsible for repairing damaged electrical parts.
He didn't help and just watched as his father was beaten. And, he never responded to his fathers dying calls (his father kept saying 'Eliezer' and Eliezer never responded out of fear of being beaten).
Eliezer's father avoids being selected at Gleiwitz by lying about his age and saying he is younger than he is. This allows him to be placed in a group that is less likely to be chosen for work detail or further selection.
Eliezer saves his father from the selection at Gleiwitz by quickly switching places with him during the chaotic process. Eliezer's father was deemed too weak to continue, so Eliezer took his father's place in line, knowing that his father's survival was crucial. This act of selflessness and sacrifice ultimately saved his father from being sent to the gas chambers.

He was unconscious.
Eliezer and his father lied to Dr. Mengele about Eliezer's age because Eliezer was afraid that being seen as too young would lead to him being selected for execution in the concentration camp. By lying about his age and saying he was older, he hoped to appear stronger and more capable of work, increasing his chances of survival.
During Eliezer's father's final illness in the book Night, there was a role reversal where Eliezer had to take care of his father instead of the other way around. Eliezer became more like a caretaker, providing his father with food, water, and encouragement, which was a stark contrast to their roles at the beginning of their time in the concentration camps.
