It was the beginning of a nightmare for Elie.Elie's first impression upon coming to Auschwitz, is that it was better that Birkenau. He says that he saw two story cement buildings instead of wood barracks, and there was even a couple of small gardens. Once of the train, he realizes just how wrong he was. His mother and sister is taken away from him and his father, never to be seen again. Elie is happy that he and his father get to stay together, but he has no idea how this is going to change him forever. The first night they are there, they see a big fire and the German officers throwing babies into it. This act will haunt Elie the rest of this life. This is the first point where Elie begins to become angry with God. While he is at Auschwitz, Elie loses all his faith in God, by the horrible things he witnesses. The image of fire, now become a symbol of the darkness in Elie. "All that was left of me was a shape that resembled me. My soul had been invaded and devoured-by a black flame", this quote shows us that there is a darkness in Elie now. The atrocities of what is happening to him, have forced the young boy to face things no one should ever have to face.

Hi. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours that showed the text "Laurence in the hold." If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer:
C."He felt what seemed to be stacks of small, light and very hard squares of wood. Laurence put the square into his mouth and tried to bite into it."
D."After a full hour he found one whose lid was open a crack --- hardly wide enough for the his fingers. Bit by bit, the bread softened, until at last he was able to break off a piece."
Explanation:
"Laurence in the Hold" features a boy named Lawrence, who was, for some reason, hiding on a ship that was already on the high seas, meaning Lawrence couldn't get off the ship until that ship stopped somewhere. Lawrence was in hiding, no one could know he was there, but he was very hungry and needed to eat to survive. He knew that he would not receive food as a passenger or a crew member and for that reason, he persisted in looking around the ship for something he could eat. The two excerpts presented above show this persistence of Lawrence in satisfying his hunger.
