ANTI SEMITISM
The content above is anti Jewish propaganda. The picture has a Jewish man leisurely sitting on many skeletons while smoking a cigar in what may be either "hell" or a battlefield. Regardless the Jewish man is depicted as an evil person who knows no fear and will do anything he wants. Supposedly an enemy of Christ since they have their own religion and the Nazi party did not like people who had different ideologies or opposed them. In the Novel there is a lot of hate for the Jews and not much of their side is shown. Mostly because we see and hear what Liesel sees. The connection between the anti jew propaganda and the novel is the hate spread and how bad it actually was. Liesel had stolen books from bonfires made of what the Jewish

    Elie Wiesel’s Night teaches about the Holocaust from the perspective of a Jewish boy named Eliezer. Reading and analyzing Night has conveyed points about the Holocaust that differ from topics that I have studied in the past. The main point of my analyzation of Night is the dehumanization of the Nazis’ victims, mainly in concentration camps. Many past Holocaust books and movies that I have studied focus more on the events that happen before the concentration camps, but Night takes place almost entirely in the camps. It helps me to see the Holocaust from a different perspective than the one that I have been seeing it from every year.…

    Is there a justification to a persecution without being proven innocent or guilty? In the book Night by Elie Wiesel he tells the story of innocent people persecuted for being Jewish, a guilty sin. It is also a question of morality; who is brave enough to save humans from their suffering and who will turn away. Over the years pain has been inflicted by other humans, harsh weathers, and natural disasters. Imagine the feeling of a blanket of snow, the feeling of a slow and chilling warmth of the coldness.…

    In Elie Wiesel’s Night there are several examples of the physical, mental, and emotional dehumanization strategies used by the Nazis. One of the prime examples of this dehumanization is when Eliezer has an identification number tattooed on his arm and Wiesel writes, “I became A-7713. From then on, I had no other name” (Wiesel 42). This quote shows clear dehumanization because Eliezer feels like he is nothing more than a number, and most likely the Nazis feel this way too. Eliezer and the other prisoners start to look at each other and themselves as less than human because of the way the Nazis treat them.…

    Never Forget In his memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel wrote “I became A-7713. After that, I had no other name.” In other words, it shows how the Nazis take the Jews identity, including their names, shoes, houses, hair, and even their clothes, which means a lot to them; they treat them like they were not human beings. One would think that in this world no such things could happen, and some people out there may think that it's not going on.…

    Throughout the novel Night, Elie Wiesel stated three poignant and relevant quotes during his survival of the Holocaust. Firstly, he claims that the torture he endured and observing his people walking into their own deaths will forever change the way he views God and the world. Secondly, he loses his faith towards mankind because he feels sympathetic towards a child receiving misfortune in the concentration camp rather than adult. Lastly, Wiesel learns that Hitler is the only person throughout the Holocaust who has stuck to their word because Jews would lie to try and escape the torture of the camps, so others had to receive a punishment for their actions. “…Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes…”…
