Elie's foot was swollen while he was in the concentration camp- Auschwitz. He went to the doctor in the concentration camp and was told he needed some rest. Puss continuously kept oozing out of his foot. The camp found out that the Soviet Army was just a couple of miles away so the camp had to be liquidated. The weak were left behind while the others strong enough to walk the death march left. Since it was snowing, Elie's foot got so cold, it began bleeding. He was about to fall behind which would mean getting shot but he kept on walking. He does end up surviving making it to the other camp and luckily, survived from being one of the eleven-million murdered.

Bataan Death March
A tune written by Fredrick Chopin. It also refers to the forced march of prisoners of war in Batan, Phillippines and in Germany during WW2. Many prisoners were sick and died or were executed during the prolonged march.
The Bataan Death March refers to the forced transfer of approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops by the Japanese army in April 1942 after the fall of Bataan during World War II. The march covered about 65 miles under brutal conditions, with many soldiers suffering from starvation, dehydration, and violence. The name "Death March" reflects the high mortality rate and the horrific treatment the prisoners endured during this grueling journey. It has since become a symbol of the atrocities faced by POWs during the war.
