Whom did Elie blame for his father's death? What is the significance of whom he blames?
He blames his father’s bunkmates who beat and stole from his father, aiding his death; he blames Hitler and the Nazis for carrying out such terror on innocent people; he blames the world for standing by silently. He does NOT blame God as much as he used to, which shows his dependence, loyalty, and reverence for God and his broken faith.
