Elie shows this through the story when he writes about himself at just 15 years old wanting to be with his dad, when he wrote about Rabbi Eliahu, and when he wrote about his mother and sisters. One of the ways Elie showed the theme of the book was when he didn't leave his father's side during the entire book. “The ss officers were doing the selection the weak to the left those who walked well to the right. My father was sent to the left. I ran after him...”

The imagery in the Pipel's hanging scene develops the theme that witnessing and experiencing horror can cause a loss of faith by exhibiting how their God does not interfere with Earth's troubles.

This is different than how the other pipel's are described - the others are said to be exceptionally cruel, even more so than their elders. This is what makes the Pipel's death so impactful on Elie's faith - because the Pipel is like an angel, it is like Elie is watching his God be killed right before him.

His night is eternal and hopeless.
He is fighting to keep his father alive, angered by the lack of desire to live. Elie’s father is suffering from dysentery, too weak to move from his cot. “For a ration of bread, I was able to exchange cots to be next to my father.” Elie has taken measures to comfort his ill-stricken father, even trading much needed food to be nearer to him. As Elie’s father begins to become more incapacitated, Elie takes the responsibility of keeping both their spirits up and keeping him
For this reason the Elie wouldn’t have known about the extreme horror that was lying ahead for his entire family. This choice positively impacted the author’s life by not being separated from his father. “Naturally, we refused to be separated” (20).
