When we last left of Eli and his dad they were going in to be inspected by the Nazi's to make sure they were clean and tidy. Going through inspection Eli is chosen by a Kapo to serve in this unit that counts the eletrical fittings for the civilian warehouse, luckily his father turns out to serve in the same exact unit. ELi and his father are housed in the "musicians block" were he meets a fellow named Juliek and his two brothers.
Eli is summoned to a dentist to get his gold corwn removed but says that he is sick and has the procedure delayed. It turns out that the dentist was making shady deals and tradeing off the gold teeth, but he is found out and is hanged for it. Eli would be sorry for the man but other problems arise for young eli. Idek, the man in charge of Eli's group, randomly beats Eli because of a french girl who offers Eli a small act of kindness and comfort. Then Eli's dad becomes a victim of Idek's rampages, and Eli becomes mad at him for his inability to dodge his attacks.
Then the prison foreman, Franek, notices that Eli still has his gold crown and he must have it. The only problem is that Franek has a lust for gold and it makes him vicious, mean, and cruel. Eli's dad tells him to not give him the tooth, but Franek takes his dad and beats him until Eli gives in. Not long after this incident Eli's group is moved to another camp, but Eli makes a accidental mistake and see's Idek having sex, so his punishment Eli is whipped until he finally looses consciousness.
The story then goes on to explain numerous accounts of people during air raids attempting to steal something. On one account a man tries to go to the unattended soup pot and get something to eat but as he nears the soup and is about to take a bite to eat he is shot in the back. After all these stories are told it goes to Eli and him questioning God yet again.
