points
Please answer the following questions in complete sentences. You will not receive credit for incomplete
sentences.

1. Are the prisoners moved or affected by the fact that bodies are thrown out of the train and not buried? How
do they respond?

2. Years later, why does Wiesel ask The Parissienne


(which is a person who lives in Paris) to stop
throwing coins to the “natives”? What does it remind
him of?

The entrance to Buchenwald

3. As we discussed earlier, one of the themes in this book is the relationship that fathers and sons have. On
page 96, what does Wiesel watch a son do to his father? Why does he do this?

4. Wiesel and the other prisoners left Buna, which is in Poland and arrived in Buchenwald, in Germany. The
trip is about 400 miles and takes about ten days. During this time there is no food and or water given to the
men. Imagine for a minute, being in a dark crowded car driving from here to Washington DC over the course
of a week and a half, without anything to eat or drink, surrounded by corpses. In Wiesel’s train, how many
people got on in Buna? How many got off in Buchenwald?
5. Wiesel thinks something on page 101 and then right after he feels ashamed. What does he think?

6. Wiesel’s father has dysentery, which is a sickness in which a person has severe diarrhea and vomiting.
Wiesel has been giving his father his ration or soup and bread. Why does the man on page 105 tell him that
he should not do this? Does Wiesel agree?

7. Near the end, the Nazi guards evacuate trucks of prisoners from the camp. Wiesel says on page 108 that
they “went through the camp gate and never came back.” What do you think has happened?

8. CHALLENGE: Wiesel is finally liberated from the camp and sees a “corpse” staring back at him. He says
“the look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me.” Explain what you think this means.
