When Eliezer and his father arrived at the barrack in the concentration camp, they were met with chaos and fear. The prisoners were stripped of their identities, forced to endure inhumane conditions, and subjected to harsh treatment by the guards. Eliezer and his father were separated from their loved ones and faced the grim reality of their new life in the camp, filled with uncertainty and despair. This marked a pivotal moment in their journey, as they began to grapple with the brutalities of their situation.

Eliezer did not want his father to rest because he saw the dead bodies laying all around when they tried to rest and died. so if his father would have rested, chances are he would have died.
Eighteen and forty.
During their time at Auschwitz, the relationship between Eliezer and his father evolves from one of mutual dependence to a more complex dynamic marked by the struggle for survival. Initially, Eliezer looks to his father for guidance and support, but as the harsh conditions take their toll, the bond becomes strained under the weight of despair and the instinct for self-preservation. Eliezer’s growing desperation leads him to grapple with feelings of guilt as he witnesses his father weaken, showcasing the brutal reality of their situation. Ultimately, their relationship reflects both the deep love that binds them and the harsh realities that threaten to fracture that bond.

Shlomo was eliezer's father
The gypsy strikes Eliezer's father because he asked where the toilets were.
Eliezer's father dies at the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany.
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 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.
Obama has the same name as his father. He was a junior until his father died.
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.
Eliezer recited the Kaddish in spite of himself as a way to honor his father and as a form of rebellion against the dehumanization he was experiencing in the concentration camp. It was a way for him to hold onto his identity and spirituality amidst the horrors of the Holocaust.
