Death and survival
A lot of part six was based around death and survival in the freezing cold temperatures. The main thing that Elie and the other Jews struggled with within part six was not being able to sleep in the snow. Even though the snow was like " a warm blanket" [pg88]. Elie and the other Jews struggled to survive when running through the snow to the other barracks. Most of the Jews that fell behind while running either got shot from the soldiers or trampled by the prisoners behind that were trying to keep up with the group. There were many deaths in part six because of the snow. When Elie and the prisoners were starting to march again " the dead remained in the yard, under the snow without even a marker." [ pg 92]

After all that the Germans had put Elie and his father through Elie was no longer a very optimistic person. Although he had glimpses of positivity from time to time it was very hard for him to remain optimistic. Because of the horrific things that the Germans had put him through it changed him from a very optimistic person to a pessimistic person. "We no longer had the strength or courage to believe that the Germans would run out of time." [pg 97-96]

Although throughout the pain and suffering that Elie had to go through at times he still found ways to stay positive at times one of the brief moments that Elie stayed positive was when he was running through the freezing cold snow and wanted to give up but instead of giving up he thought to himself.
"We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had transcended everything- death, fatigue, our natural needs. We were stronger than cold and hunger, stronger than the guns and the desire to die." [pg 87]

In part six of the novel night it showed us how the German S.S soldiers would evacuate the prisoners from the barracks and make them run to another barrack before the allies would get close to the camps.The Jewish prisoners would have to run through freezing temperatures with no food or water and they were not allowed to fall behind otherwise they were shot by the German soldiers or trampled to death by prisoners behind them. Most of the Jewish people during this period of moving between barracks would be killed not my the German soldiers but by the freezing cold temperatures when they would fall asleep in the snow. "Don't let yourself be overcome by sleep, Eleizer. It's dangerous to fall asleep in the snow. One falls asleep and never wakes up" [pg 88]

In this chapter of the book we learn how much the Jewish people treasured their sleep and how much they were willing to die if they got some rest. "Wake up. One mustn't fall asleep here..." p90
We also learn that the millions of Jews didn't just die from gas chambers, being shot, hangs, etc. but also from the freezing cold "It's dangerous to fall asleep in the snow. One falls asleep forever." p88, diseases, starvation, dehydration and many more.

In the beginning of the chapter, Elie describes the setting as "...pitch black. From time to time, a shot exploded into the darkness." p85
When they had done half the trip, "the morning star appeared in the grey sky." p87
When they came to rest, they stopped at an abandoned village. Elie and his father went into an  "abandoned brick factory whose roof and fallen in." p88
The windows on the building were shattered and the walls were covered in soot. Thick snow covered the grounds, which acted like a warm blanket to many, but froze them to death. Beneath the feet of Elie, lay many men who were dying. The heavy snow would continue to fall, especially over the corpses.

Elie:
During this chapter of the bibliography, Elie just tries to keep his father and himself alive. Elie still has hope, although exhausted and hungry. Elie hated his body, esspically while running.
"I couldn't help but thinking there were two of us: my body and I. And  I hated that body." p85

Elie, although wanting to stop himself, also encouraged others to keep going. This occurs when Zalman, a young Polish boy marching next to him, starts unbuttoning his clothes and says, "I can't go on. My stomach is bursting..." p86
Elie tried to convince him to continue but Zalman fell to the ground. This shows that Elie was persistent in staying alive.

After Elie got to rest "Only now did [Elie] feel the full extent of [his] weakness." p88
Elie, fell to the ground and fell asleep but then woke up shortly to his father looking at him. His father tried to get him to move, to not fall asleep in the snow but He had become thoughtless and didn't think of death, just sleep. At this point, Elie had given up on trying to stay alive, to try and stay awake.

In Part six the Jewish prisoners are forced to run 42 miles, in the night during a blizzard. Anyone who couldn't continue was ordered to be shot. The Jew's stopped in a small village where Elie and his father took turns in resting, avoiding death. .

"We won't let each other fall asleep. We'll look after each other." p89

Rabbi Eliahu finds the small shack where Elie and his father are staying, attempting to find his son, Zalman. When he asks Elie if he had seen his son, Elie apologises and says no. After Rabbi left, Elie remembered that his son was the boy marching next to him, who gave up and died.

Another selection occurred and and Elie's father was sent to the death side. After a diversion occurred, his father switched lines.
