At one point, Auschwitz had six orchestras - the largest of which, in Auschwitz I, consisted of 50 musicians. A women’s orchestra in Auschwitz-Birkenau was made up of 36 members and 8 transcribers under the musical direction of the singer Fania Fénelon.

then his dad needed medical care so they took him to the hospital and doctors treated him.

then the nazis told elie the russians were coming so the germans were peacing out, did he want to come with or get soviet occupied?

and then elie was like "good looking out, hans. let's roll."

and then elie left with the nazis rather than be liberated by the soviet union.

i forget what happened after that, but i assume after he wrote this book he was put into a spacetime machine to an alternate universe where he and his dad prayed for the russians to come but instead were murdered by germans for being kikes unfit to work.

You know those guys were in a good mood. Being posted as an Auschwitz swimming pool life guard or orchestra director was mad chill compared to being on the front.
