He moves the family to Auschwitz, where he is in charge of the camp. Father is strict and intimidating, but expresses tenderness towards his family. He eventually consents to letting the family move back to Berlin, though he remains at Auschwitz to continue his duties for Hitler.

When the Allied soldiers come to take him away for punishment, Father submits to their demands, as he no longer has the will to live.
