Recently I have read the book night. It’s about the most historical events in history the holocaust. It talks about this one person who has suffered in the holocaust at a young age who has little to eat and keep loosing his faith. In the begging of the nook he looses his sister and his mother. He enters series of concentration camps with his father. With a blessing his fathers lives and help the main character Eli, But during that time his father ages and get weaker and weaker. Till the end he gets taken away by the SS guards. The he dies because he was sick. Now, couple of years later. At his father funeral I think Eli would have said this.
My father was one of the most important man in my community. He was a leader of our community. There was days were he didn't pay attention to me because he has lot on his shoulders. People depended on him when the Germans weren't there and when they were there. As the Germans separated us from my mom and sister I saw my father becoming from one of the strongest man in my eyes to one of the weakest man I had ever seen. I saw him age rapidly and become weaker. I saw him go from a man to a walking corpse. There was time I saw him weak and disappointed at him and I was being selfish. The day he got in a way of a guard and get beaten I saw him break in two like an old tree truck by lighting. And I stand there saw him in pain no tear. But my father was stronger than I thought he survived this long. He help save my life many times. In the moments in camp got us closer than we ever been outside of camp.
I remember the time we were outside of the barracks trying to teach my father how to march because the kapo beaten him because I haven’t gave him my golden crown. I remember the other inmates making fun of us but we didn't pay any mind of them. We continue to bond. The time we finish running from one camp to a small village. We entered a small building with a fallen roof it was cold and we were tired and the floor was filled with snow. We watch each other sleeping for we can’t go in a deep sleep and die. That moment my father smiled. He smiled at worst moment ever he smiled. That made me feel good and happy for a while we bonded after all the suffering we went through together.
We look out foe each other to keep each other alive. It amazing how u let your eye or guard down for a second they take the person u love away. I woke up he was gone.
