    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.…

    Elie Wiesel’s well-known book Night is based on his own terrifying experience with his father at the Nazi Germany concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald from 1944 to 1945 in the midst of the Holocaust and the Second World War. In as little as 100 short pages of scarce and fragmented narrative, he writes about the demise of God and loss of humanity, which is reflected in the inversion of the father son relationship as Wiesel’s father’s gradually declines into a state of despair and Elie becomes his indignant caregiver. The memoir tells more than just a story: it tells of the loss of spirit, faith the horror of death and continuing to live with the horrible memoires that continue to haunt…

    Complacency is Cooperation Throughout the late 1930s and early 1940s, the citizens of Europe looked on as millions of Jewish people were killed, segregated, and discriminated against. The world may never know the exact reasons people did not intervene, but conclusions can be drawn from the information available. This issue is addressed in Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, on numerous occasions. Despite some people believing that no one interfered because the people of Europe were afraid, Weisel demonstrates that there were other justifications given by the communities living directly outside some of the worst concentration camps. To begin, there must be a basic understanding of the situation.…

    The Book Night was intended to teach its readers the sorrow, horrors, and personal experiences of Elie Wiesel and the Holocaust itself. My poem has 1-2 titles and a couple of words and symbols to summarize the important symbols and representations of each chapter. I believe my poem does properly convey the message of the memoir. I can easily identify how smushed each Jew had to be to the millions of others, the rations of bread and the importantoce of soup made, the pipel boy or their Gods execution, and the immense loss of hope, and resurgance of it.…

    About 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. The book Night written by Elie Wiesel is his account of what occurred to him and the others around him during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world because the Nazis killed people of any age, the concentration camps had the worst possible conditions, and the Nazis treated the prisoners like animals. One reason the Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world is the Nazis killed people of any age. One piece of evidence that shows this is “They were burning something.…

    After reading the book Night, one might find their selves pondering how Eliezer was able to survive in such horrendous conditions, while others were inhumanly executed. The immense about of suffering these innocent people endured is unimaginable; they were swept from their normal lives, not knowing what their destiny holds. It is quite depressing to hear about families being separated, unaware that they will never see their loved ones again. What we, as readers, experience throughout this book is an actual story based upon Eliezer’s logical and emotional state. Eliezer is a very naive young man; I believe that this is one of his abundant traits that allowed him to live.…
