In
chapter six, the Jewish prisoners finally arrive at a camp in Gleiwitz after marching throughout
the night and are completely exhausted from the treacherous journey. Shortly after arriving at
the camp, the majority of prisoners fall down and Elie fears that he will be crushed to death.
Juliek, the violinist from Buna, also fears that his instrument will break under the pressure of
the exhausted prisoners. Elie then loses consciousness, and when he awakens, he hears the sound
of Juliek playing a fragment of Beethoven's concerto in the dark, crowded barrack. Elie is then
overcome with sleep, and when he awakens the next day, he discovers that Juliek died during the
night. Overall, Juliek's last act was to play Beethoven on his violin for the malnourished,
exhausted Jewish prisoners before he passed away later that night.
