Elie spends most of four months at Buchenwald. During that
time his father dies from dysentery. Elie tells us that he felt and cared for nothing
until April. It was in April that the front was approaching. The Nazi's began the
process of liquidating the camp. On April 10  the inmates rose up to overthrow their

The American tanks were at the front gates and liberation was at
hand.
