When they entered the camp they were ordered to form ranks of five, in groups of 100. They were given a hot shower then sent to their blocks for rest. Eli's father picked a spot to sit down and began to tell Eli that it was over for him, Eli howled at, and pleaded with his father to stand up, and that rest was near. Soon the lights went out and they were chased into their blocks. Next morning Eli was looking for his father, he found him near the coffee stand. Later when the block cleaning took place, the sick were ordered to stay inside and were not given any food.
Eli slowly began to loose his father, soon after they were ordered to the showers, when Eli saw his father it seemed as if he was a stranger and walked right by Eli. They soon determined Eli's father was suffering from Dysentery and was bed ridden. One day he put his lips to Eli's ear and said "my son, I must tell you were I have hidden the gold and silver", he went on with this frantically as if he were running out of time.
While visiting his father Eli was told to no longer help him, that he should die on his own. Eli left and came back with a ration of soup, but his father only wanted water. for the next roll call, Eli stayed in his bunk above his father, his father called for him to bring water, an officer struck him on the head to quiet him. Later that night they went to bed and when Eli woke another sick person was in the place of his father.
