Quote 1
"In three days I shall no longer be here.... Say the Kaddish for me"(Wiesel 83).
Analysis
I think Akiba Drumer said because he wanted Elie to know about the execution that was happening. He wanted him to do the speech for him and his friends to feel special since he asked them. They gathered at the service and said the Kaddish together before Drumer went to the chambers.
Quote 2
"Don't let yourself be overcome by sleep, Eliezer. It's dangerous to fall asleep in the snow. You might sleep for good. Come on, come one. Get up"(Wiesel 94).
Analysis
Eliezer's father said this because he didn't want to see his son to die because he was the only one with him. He wouldn't want to see his son die in the snow. He's the only family member he had with him. It's sad to think that they had to walk in the snow and not one person noticed it.

Section 3 Quote/Analysis
Quote 1
"Poor devils you're going to the cematory." (Weisel 41)
Analysis
I believe that they are trying to make a joke out of saying the Jews are going to get burned to death. They called the Jews devils because they didn't believe in the same thing Germans believed in. It's not fair to the Jews that they had to be treated that way.
Quote 2
"...Tomorrow's another day" (Weisel 52)
Analysis
Elie's father said this to make him think they're going to make it until tomorrow, and that they aren't going anywhere. To them tomorrow is another day of work, but to the German's tomorrow is just another day to watch the Jews work and not feed them regularly.
