Moshe was a poor, humble, and devout Jewish man who lived in Sighet.

The story begins in 1941 when Eliezer was 12 years old.

Eliezer had three sisters and a family business. His father was respected in the community.

Moshe prayed to understand God's will, to find answers in the face of adversity.

The townspeople of Sighet initially dismissed Moshe's warnings about the deportees. They didn't believe in the danger.

The people of Sighet remained optimistic and unconcerned about the danger, believing they were safe.

The arrival of German soldiers marked a turning point, bringing strict rules and control over Jewish lives.

The ghettos were enclosed areas where Jews were forced to live, confined within barbed-wire fences and isolated from the outside world.

A section of Auschwitz where prisoners were sent for extermination; a grim symbol of Nazi brutality.

The largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp, known for its horrific atrocities during WWII. It was divided into three parts: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II-Birkenau, and Auschwitz III.

A literary device where hints or warnings about future events are given, often creating suspense or foreshadowing a tragic outcome.

The use of words where the literal meaning is the opposite of the intended meaning. Often used for irony or sarcasm.

A prisoner assigned by the Nazis to supervise other prisoners in concentration camps. Often brutal and cruel, they acted as intermediaries between the Nazis and the inmates.

The feeling of surprise, shock, or confusion when the opposite of what is expected happens, often used to highlight the tragic or ironic nature of an event.

The burning of children in the crematorium, representing the ultimate horror and causing Elie to question his faith.

Dr. Mengele, an SS doctor known for his horrific medical experiments on prisoners, particularly on twins. His actions embody the cruelty and barbarity of the Nazi regime.

The Nazi symbol of a skull and crossbones on the electric fencing at Auschwitz represented death, but the prisoners wished to use it to escape their suffering.

The sign at the entrance of Auschwitz read "Work makes you free." However, the prisoners found no freedom there, only forced labor and suffering.

Elie and his father were assigned to Block 17, where the prisoner in charge was kind and offered them comfort.

Elie was assigned the number A-7713 as a prisoner.

Elie lied to Stein by saying his family was alive to give him hope.

Elie's new shoes were covered in mud, so the guards didn't notice them.

Elie felt a sense of anger towards his father for not avoiding Idek's wrath.

Experienced prisoners advised Elie and his companions to lie about their age and profession, to improve their chances of survival.

The expression of deep sorrow or grief.

An illusion that appears real but isn't, often seen in deserts.

A person's face or facial expression, which reveals their emotions.

The act of making up for wrongdoings or sins.

A temporary relief or delay from punishment or hardship.

Seeming endless or extremely long.

Extremely thin due to lack of food or illness.

A severe trial or challenge that tests someone's strength.

The statement uses sarcasm to highlight the cruel treatment disguised as care. The speaker is actually being mistreated, even though the person saying this seems to be implying they are being cared for.

The rumors provided false hope and a moment of relief from the constant despair. They were like a drug, giving them temporary strength and a distraction from grim realities.

Elie's decision to leave the hospital early saved his life. He risked being left behind and possibly killed when the camp was evacuated.

The focus on night creates a dark and hopeless atmosphere. It symbolizes death, suffering, and the loss of faith. It emphasizes the bleakness of their situation.

Rabbi Eliahou represented hope and faith for the prisoners. He was a symbol of their spiritual connection. Elie's witnessing the Rabbi's son abandoning him highlights the despair and moral decay in the camp.

The prisoners were happy because it meant more space and a chance to move around freely. This illustrates the irony of their situation as they find a sliver of relief in the death of others.

Elie describes the sounds of the dying prisoners to show the immense pain and suffering they endured. It creates a vivid sense of the horrific conditions and the overwhelming loss of humanity.

Only 12 out of the 100 prisoners who started the journey survived the trip to Buchenwald. This highlights the enormous loss of life during the journey and the extreme conditions they faced.
