jan 21, 1945 - Elie Wiesel and Father Go on 10 Day Death March

Description:

In the middle of the night, Buna Prisoners are forced to start their March in a blizzard. Elie is malnourished and weak, but his father keeps him going.

"The night was pitch-black. From time to time, a shot exploded in the darkness. They had orders to shoot anyone who could not sustain the pace. Their fingers on the triggers, they did
not deprive themselves of the pleasure. If one of us stopped for a second, a quick shot eliminated the filthy dog" (Wiesel, 85)
