Elie thought that everyone in the infirmary would be killed because the Nazi's didn't need sick people, they couldn't work.
Elie and his father have to decide whether to stay in the concentration camp or take their chances in the death march. They ultimately decide to evacuate with the rest of the camp during the death march rather than be left behind.
The weather during the evacuation in the novel "Night" by Elie Wiesel was cold and snowy. Elie describes the bitter cold, the snow falling heavily, and the brutal conditions they faced as they were forced to leave the concentration camp.
Elie Wiesel was 15 years old at the beginning of the evacuation from Buna in the book Night.
Elie and his father must make a decision whether to go on the death march or stay in the infirmary at the camp. Elie decides that the camp will probably be bombed by the Nazis after it's evacuation and the sick peopel in the infirmary will be killed. He believes this because the Nazis have no use for sick people. Elie and his father go on the death march, which proves to be a bad choice because two days after the camp was evacuated and Elie and his father went on the march, people in the infirmary were freed. Had Elie and his father stayed in the infirmary, they would have been freed from the reign of the Nazis and his father would have survived the Holocaust.
Elie and his father avoided being transported during the final death march from Auschwitz by staying in their barracks and pretending to be dead when the SS officers came to evacuate the camp. They managed to hide during the chaos and confusion of the evacuation as Soviet troops approached.
Elie Wiesel's father wanted to leave him his faith and Jewish heritage as an inheritance. Through their experiences in the concentration camps during the Holocaust, Elie and his father were able to hold on to their faith and support each other in the face of unimaginable suffering.
Elie decides not to wake his father when he can't. He realizes that his father has most likely passed away during the night and that waking him would only bring unnecessary pain and suffering.

The irony lies in the fact that Elie chooses to leave the hospital and evacuate with the rest of his unit, thinking it would be safer, when in reality, those who stayed behind were liberated shortly after and found to be in better condition. This decision ultimately leads to him experiencing more suffering and hardship during the evacuation.
Elie and his father are recognized by a fellow prisoner named Juliek in Auschwitz, who knew Elie from their hometown of Sighet.
