Summarizer Chapter 5

I can't belive it. The book is getting better and the book is coming to an end :(

The Jewish New Year's go by, and Elie remembers the time when New Year was everything to him. Elie is told not to fast on Yom Kippur by his father so he doesn't. Then he gets Elie ia sent to a new place where he has to carry around heavy blocks of stone for twelve hours. He is then told that there will be another selection where they have to run in front of the SS officers. When his turn comes, he runs as fast as he can. Whe he is finished, he finds his father and learns that they both had passed the selection.

One day, Elie's foot starts to swell up. So he is sent to the hospital where he meets this "faceless" Hungarian Jew. Elie is told by him that Hitler is the only one that we should have hope in and believe in since he's the only one that actually kept his promise.

Some days later, Elie and his father has to choose whether they want to stay where they are (the hosiptial) or go with the prisoners (go evacuated).
