Losing Faith

While in the camps, many people would lose faith in God. They thought, how could He let all of this bad stuff happen to them when he is suppose to protect them and save them from evil. Elizer saw babies thrown in the air as targets, innocent people being shot, people being starved and forced to do hard labor. They also had terrible living areas; wooden beds, a tiny blanket, no pillow, no heater for the winter, and no AC for the summer. Most people started to lose hope in one another, but not Elizer. He was tempted many times by other prisoners telling him to save himself and take his fathers food because his father would not make it that must longer anyway. His father wanted to give up so many times and just fall asleep and die in his sleep, but Elizer kept him moving and going so he would not pass on him and leave him in that horrible place.
