"Novaculite" is a metamorphic rock that is similar to flint. It has a sedimentary origin, just like flint, but diagenesis and metamorphism have increased the size of the quartz microcrystals. It has been used for thousands of years for making sharp tools and weapons.
Hope this helps...

<span>Grains, as a whole, remain an
important part of the Russian economy. The types of grains produced,
however, vary with changes in demand and environmental conditions. Some
grains, such as oats, supported Russia economically in the past, but
grow in much smaller quantities. While grains export in highest
quantities from Russia, legumes follow close behind. Hardy and resilient
legumes, including potatoes and beets, prove ideally suited for
Russia's cold climates and sub-par soils. Potatoes thrive at Russia's
northernmost locations, primarily regions between 50 and 60 degrees
latitude. Russian potatoes provide citizens with food and nutrients, and
support vodka production as well. </span>
Remember that Eliezer and his father were sent off to Auschwitz, which as commonly known today is a death camp. To determine whether they go to Auschwitz or Birkenau (the labor camp next to Auschwitz), they were asked for some of the following things:
1) Age
2) Occupancy
3) Health condition
4) (i believe there might be more) etc.
Each of these determine if they can work, and depending on what they answer, they were either sent directly to the death camp, or were sent to the labor camp.
Now, to answer the question, they were told to lie about their ages so that they would have a higher survivability rate.
hope this helps
