Elie finds it hard to pray because he didn’t know why he should sanctify his name if he chose to be silent. Elie believes in him but he has only known Him to be do good stuff but if He was real why would he let this stuff happen.

# data[].attributes.body
The words Elie can’t forget are, “Men to the left! Woman to the Right!” (Wiesel 29). I think he is unable to forget them because that’s when he was separated from his mom and his sisters.

# data[].attributes.body
The words were “Men to the left! Women to the right!” (Wiesel 29). Elie is unable to forget those words because that was the moment he would be separated from his mom and sisters forever. This also explains why he clings to his father more because that is all they have left which is each other.

# data[].attributes.body
The words are “Men to the left! Woman to the right!” Elie is unable to forget then because that moment is one of the last, if not the last, time he saw his mom and sisters. Elie and his dad were scared and they needed each other to feel grounded or like the have something their that they know. They are in a new place and are being threatened, they needed something they recognized and that was each other.

The words were “men to the left! women to the right!” (Wiesel 29) Elie is unable to forget them because that was the last time he saw his mother and his Tzipora forever, also because of how emotionless the person saying them was. Elie and his father cling to one another manly because they are scared and don’t have anyone else in their family to be with.

# data[].attributes.body
Elie stood there petrified. He didn’t know what happened, his father had been stuck in front of him and Elie didn’t even blink. He only watched and kept silent. The day prior he would have dug his nails into the criminals flesh. Elie was confused on how he changed so quick. He didn’t move he just stood their. He thought how he would never forgive anyone for what was happening.

# data[].attributes.body
Those words are powerful to Elie because that is the last time he ever saw his mother and sister’s again. He’s unable to forget the fact that he never got to say goodbye and that he lost them in an unfair fight. Elie and his father cling on to each other because that’s all they have left, they know they won’t see the rest of their family again, so all they can do is hope they don’t lose the other and end up alone.

# data[].attributes.body
“Men to the left! Woman to the right!” Those were the eight words that were spoken without emotion. Elie never forgot these words because those were the words that separated Elie from his mother and sisters forever. I think that Elie clung onto his dad so much after this because he didn’t want to leave him and never see him again like he left his mom and sisters.

# data[].attributes.body
“Men to the left! Women to the left!” (Wiesel 29). He was unable to forget them because that is when he last saw his family and when they split up. They cling to one another because they need each other to survive and they are each other’s hope.

“Men to the left, women to the right”

Elie was unable to forget them because he left his mom and his sister he got separated. He wanted to be with his father so he could stay with someone he knows and it helped him because they were together.

# data[].attributes.body
The words spoken by the SS officer are “Men to the Left! Women to the right!” (Wiesel 29). Elie will never be able to forget those words because he will never see his mother again, he remembers the words because it is a very important situation. The words help explain how Elie and his father really bond in Auschwitz because it shows how the only person Elie has is his father and his sisters and mother are separated.

# data[].attributes.body
They were all furious at them because they didn’t know anything about Auschwitz, especially that they might be burned. I feel like they had the right to be mad at them because they’re gonna be killed but they shouldn’t have made them more scared, instead they should’ve told them the news in a less angry way.

# data[].attributes.body
The eight words that Elie would never be able to forget are “Men to the left” and “ Women to the right”. The worlds are important because that was last he was ever going to see his mother and sister again. It shows that Elie and his father cling to each because they each other only family they have left. They don’t know what’s going to happen to them they are scared of what is going to happen so they are cling to each other hoping they don’t get separated.

“Men to the left! Women to the right!” Those are the eight words that separated Elie from his mother and sisters, he saw them for the last time when those eight words were spoken, the words ripped his family apart. Elie and his father clung to each in Auschwitz’s because they had no one else. If they lost each other, they were alone, no one to talk to.

Some of the prisoners tried to help people by telling the to make their age younger or older. Though others were angry and confused why they came to the camp.

The veteran prisoner was shocked and was angry that they had never hear of Auschwitz. I think he was like that because the prisoner probably doesn’t understand how no one had ever heard of such a terrible place. Also he was angry because he doesn’t want to see anymore people die and suffer.

Elie finds it hard to pray because he almost feels cursed or in some sort of nightmare because he was sent to Auschwitz’s. Only to be worked to be killed off eventually with a slow horrible death. He finds it hard to pray because he is shaken by the situation in which he is in here he is to kill himself by walking into flames. He finds it hard to pray because he feels as if God is no longer with him due to the situation he’s going through. He says on page 34 “Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.” (Wiesel 34). I feel as if when he says this, it is some sort of loss of hope because he repeats himself 6 times. He feels abandoned by his God and rethinks his religion.

# data[].attributes.body
“He looked like the typical SS officer: cruel, though not unintelligent, face complete with monocle.” (Wiesel, 31) To me he seemed that he had indifference to the Jewish people and didn’t care for what they had to go through, he just wanted to do his job.

The veteran prison annoyed and angry that the newcomers never heard of Auschwitz.

Elie’s father was more invested in being the highest esteem then to being a father to his children. Elie’s father was a quite man, never said his feelings and was that of a cultured man.

He did it in a way of protecting him, he needed to worry about his health and his soul before to worry about them. He told him they were alive and well, but in reality they knew nothing abou them since 1940…4 years ago. They knew what would’ve happened if they told him the truth, and they predicted it right; He heard about the train coming in from Antwerp and he went the next day to find out some information. “He left. We never saw him again. He had been given the news. The real news.” (Pg 45) They knew what had happened no matter how much they hoped it wouldn’t of.

“Men to the left! Women to the right!” (Wiesel 29) is spoken by an SS holding a club. It is the nazis separating women in men, families by gender. Elie is not able to forget them due to the fact that he will most likely never see his mother and his little sister again after this, since they are being separated by gender. He did not even get to say goodbye correctly.

In the first chapter you can tell that Elie and his father are not the closest. His father was focused on other things and Elie just was not as much of a priority. After being in this camp and only having each other after losing Elie’s mother and sisters they start to grow closer.
