Cliffhanger-what is the cliffhanger at the end of page 324?

Death describes the desperation of those trapped inside gas chambers. Death says that it invokes the name of God whenever it tries to understand the gas chambers. God never says anything. Death describes its desolation on June 23, 1942, the first day of operation at the gas gambers in Auschwitz.

The previous response is incorrect. This is when the reader beleives that Max may be dying.
