“Men to the left! Women to the right!” These were the words from the SS office when Elie’s family got split up and the last time he saw his mom and sister. That’s why he will never forget.

# data[].attributes.body
The words are “Men to the left! Women to the right!”. They are important because it shows that if you were just a women you were most likely to die and if you were a man you would be put to work. They cling together because they don’t wanna lose each other or they want to at least die together.

# data[].attributes.body
“Men to the left! Women to the right!” Elie counts forget it because that was the moment when he left his mother and also his sisters. His father was holding his hand and that’s when Elie realized they were alone.

# data[].attributes.body
Elie finds it hard to pray because he thought his God was choosing to be silent through this journey and he had no reason to thank him.

# data[].attributes.body
They are probably really angry because they realize that no one will be able to save them if no one knows what’s happening.

The eight words were “men to the left! Woman to the right!”(wiesel 29) these words were very important to Elie because this is when he had to leave his mother and little sister and this explains why he hung tight to his dad because he did not want to loose him to.

# data[].attributes.body
“Men to the left! Woman to the right!” He cannot forget these words because it’s the moment he is separated from his mother and sister. He clings to his father because that’s the only family he has left and doesn’t want to lose him.

“Men to the left! Woman to the right!” (Pg. 29). Those simple words given by an SS officer had a strong impact on Elie Wiesel and his father the day they split from his mother and sisters. Those simple words had a bond on Elie the moment they were spoken; a strong, emotional, and shattering bond. For young Elie hadn’t realized the moment those words were spoken, he would leave his loved forever; right into the hands of death.

# data[].attributes.body
Because Elie is having a hard time with religion because he doesn’t really believe in god

# data[].attributes.body
The veteran prisoners were shocked the Elie never heard of Auschwitz. “He couldn’t believe his ears.” I believe that this was a sign of just how bad this place truly was with the way the veteran acted it seemed like every Jew should know by now.

Woman too the right!” also when the ss said too move his father “ I had already felt my father press his hands up against mine” pg 29 showing that Elise father didn’t want too lose his son/separated.

They reacted by saying “why have you come here? Tell me why?…didn’t you know what was in store for you here in Auschwitz?” (Wiesel 30). Then when the veteran figured out that they didn’t know he was confused because it’s been a couple years since the Nazi’s have been doing this.

# data[].attributes.body
The “veteran” prisoners became harsh and angry, warning them and telling them of their death. Of the chimneys and graves. The other prisoners wouldn’t dare speak except one. Nobody had heard of Auschwitz, nobody heard of the horrible deeds done there. The “veterans” give them a prophesy, a story of their own death right in their face.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
They said “shut up you Moron, or I’ll tear you to pieces! You should have hanged yourselves rather than come here”(Wiesel 30). To me this was saying that anything, even death could be better than being here and the people were stunned, petrified, they decried do it as an unimaginable nightmare.

The Veteran prisoners were very upset with the newcomers because the people didn’t know about Auschwitz before coming and the veterans said “ you should have hanged yourselves rather than come here. Didn’t you know what was in store for you here in Auschwitz? You didn’t know? In 1944?” They were shocked because they thought the Jews would have known by now.

The eight words Elie is unable to forget was the words spoken by a German officer. “Men to the left! Women to the right!” (Wiesel 29). These stuck with Elie because these were the words that separated him from his mother and sister. These words were the words that forced Elie to never see his mother or sister again. These words help explain why Elie and his father cling together because Elie and his father only have each other now and now they can’t bear losing one another.

# data[].attributes.body
They ask why did they come there and if they knew what happens at auschwitz even calling them morons for showing up like they had a choice. The same man also tells Elie and his father too lie about their age so they don’t get separated or killed.

Young Elie Wiesel found it hard to pray because of the dying truth of this situation. Elie had the mindset of a intelligent male.

Elie responds, when his father is slapped brutally by the Gypsy leader of the barrack, with nothing. This cold, hard response gave a shock to young Elie Wiesel. It affected him; making him think.

# data[].attributes.body
Elie and his father were distant because of his fathers work and beliefs on what Elie should be doing. But now they have not left each other’s side since they got to Auschwitz. But that also doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. On page 39 it said “My father had been struck in front of me and I had not even blinked” (Wiesel 39). They still have a connection yes, but in ever since they’ve been in there Elie has changed a lot including how he saw someone die and didn’t even react. Being treated like this can put a toll on someone especially someone as young as Elie.

Elie doesn’t blink once. Elie saw how they were going to be treated like. Elie is scared to loose face.

# data[].attributes.body
I think their bonds changed overtime because they are going through it together because before they would love each other but Elie states at some point that he didn’t even flinch when his father was beat right in front of him so I think as we get farther in the story they might get more distant or closer cause they need each other for survival.

# data[].attributes.body

They had both grown apart and together at the same time, he still always tried to stay with his father but he was so out of it that nothing affected him as much as it used to “my father had just been struck, in front of me , and I had not even blinked, I had watched and kept silent”(Wiesel 39).

Elie’s father knew how bad their situation is already and that all they can do now is obey orders and keep hopping. Elie’s father was saving his relative from knowing the truth. The truth was that his sons were killed.

Elie Wesel’s relationship with his father had changed from Chapter 1 from Chapter 3. As cited in the book, page 39, Elie says; “Just yesterday I would’ve dug my nails into this criminal’s flesh.” Fear and survival has changed the relationship between father and son. Elie hadn’t blinked, hadn’t moved, nor looked away when his father had been beaten by the Gypsy leader. This shows that, to young Elie Wiesel, that fear and survival would be the only matter that means most.

# data[].attributes.body
Elie was finding hard to pray because he didn’t see a reason why he should pray to god if god was only going to allow something like this to happen.
