Eliezer’s father got weaker, and he eventually fell ill while at the Buchenwald concentration camp. He suffered from a bout of dysentery until he succumbed from the effects of the disease and lack of treatment. Eliezer was not optimistic of his father’s survival because of the conditions in the camps. However, he did everything to keep his father comfortable. The reality that he was going to lose his father made him grow closer to him. Eliezer bribed his way into getting a cot next to his father because he wanted to be close to him. He always ensured that he stayed close to his father. He tried to get his father some medical attention, but his attempts were futile.

The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
