Russian Army VeteransIn this chapter the time for Jewish Holidays arise. Event though the Jews have been beaten and prosecuted they some how find a way to praise God on these holidays. However Elie cannot bring himself to worship God after seeing all of these dead Jews. He doesn't see how God could let this happen. On Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday that involves fasting for the forgiveness of sin, Elie decides to eat.
Elie is chosen to work in a building. His father is said to be to weak for this new job and must be put to death. After Elie says goodbye to his father he hears of good news that their was a second selection and Elie's dad made the cut. He was goin to survive. Other Jews are killed because they lose the will to live and lose faith in God.
Winter comes and the Jews are forced to suffer in the cold. The prisoners hear that the Russians are coming to take over the Germans. The German officers decide to evacuate the camps. Elie and his father decide to go with the Germans because they think the Russians will kill them. Later Elie finds out that all the Jews that stayed at the camps were set free by the Russians. So now Elie is stuck with the Germans after he could have been freed.

Short but very descriptive and full of information. I like the picture also. Easily read and interpreted.
the picture is a little iffy. I don't know what it is about and I see no purpose. Good summary though.
This is a well written blog and holds alot of imformation. This is also good summary.
i agree with earl the picture is nice. Also you did an excellent job of summarizing in such short words. and i like how you conveyed elie's struggle with his faith. But you should put how you feel in their
