Abandonment

In chapter 6, Elie realizes Rabbi Eliahou's son purposely abandoned his father.I think that this must have been very hard for him to do because that's probably the only family he has in the concentration camp; the woman and children get killed first. Elie thinks he did this because he didn't want his father to see him die nor him to see his father die. He thought that it would just be better if they were separated for each others death. I would've thought they would have wanted to spend their last moments with each other but they also don't want to see each other die.
