In the book Night by Elie Wiesel the German army or the Nazis were
Reducing the Jews to almost nothing. Caring nothing for their lives, safety, family, or hunger. The Jews were forced to be obedient toward the Nazis if they wanted any chance at all at surviving the holocaust.
At first the Jews didn’t listen to Moishe when he came to warn everyone about what the Nazis were doing. In fact they flat out ignored his warning and went on with their lives. But when the Nazis came they at first were friendly and only slept inside the homes of the civilians there. After a few days. The Nazis took all their valuables and gave them rules and moved the Jews all to one area. This area was called the ghettos. After more days of waiting, wondering what …show more content…
A man had told Elie and his father to lie about their age and occupations. Elie saying he was a farmer and he was 18 instead of 15 and his father saying he was a farmer and he was 40 instead of 50. This caused tension because they were heading for the crematorium (where they burned the bodies of those who were too weak to work). Such a foul act by the Germans. Elie and his Father had seen babies and young children being thrown into a big flaming pit of death. Elie wondering if this was a nightmare he kept trying to wake up but nothing would come of it.

The red army was about to arrive in Auschwitz and the Germans had to move the Jews because the Germans didn’t want to let the world know what they had been doing to these people in the camps. The Germans made the Jews run in the snow and if they stopped for a second they were shot without hesitation. Elie and his Father had went full sprint without stopping. After Eli, his father, and other Jews had made it to a town they had all decided to rest. Elie not knowing how tired he was until he had sat down was feeling tired and wanted to sleep but his father had forbidden so because those who sleep in the snow don't wake
