Elie blames Drummer's death on the fact that he'd lost his will to live. Men like Akiba Drumer lose their faith when they start to believe that the Nazi evil is greater than the power of God. When they start to believe that it is impossible to escape the evil of the concentration camp, they lose their faith and, simultaneously, their will to live. Wiesel describes Akiba Drumer: "It was impossible to raise his morale. He didn't listen to what we told him. He could only repeat that all was over for him, that he could no longer keep up the struggle, that he had no strength left, no faith." Men like Akiba Drumer lose their faith when they start believing that the perverse justice of the Nazis is the only standard there is to live by.

The other men are so busy with their own worries that they forgot to say the Kaddish for him..... the only thing he'd asked for.
