Answer:

Juliek was worried that his violin was going to break.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Juliek was worried that his violin would get damaged in the chaos.

2. Beethoven was a German composer and Jewish prisoners weren't allowed to play his music.

3. Juliek died and his violin was found, crushed.

4. Elie ran after his father when he was sent to the left side, where weak prisoners go. When he ran after him, it caused the other prisoners to "switch sides." After this, Elie and his father ended up on the right side, thus avoiding death.

5. N/A (my apologies).

6. This meant that these people chose to stare rather than use that opportunity to help. They had a chance to protest or even question what was happening but they chose to remain silent. My reaction to this is that it's sad how most people will choose to do nothing instead of stepping up for what's right, especially when it comes to basic human rights.

7. N/A (my apologies).

8. I think it's sad that people were in so much pain that they turned to kill one another, even family members because it gave them a chance to alliviate the pain they were going through.

9. (I'm going to write this as if I were 15). I am only a year younger than Wiesel and I couldn't fathom experiencing this. You can't panic or act irrationally otherwise you will lose your life quickly. Reading this book has made me feel very sad and shocked.
