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.…
During the holocaust, there were thousands of Jews suffering. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie does a good job of showing how the jews treated each other in times of suffering people start too show comfort too those they love but the suffering gets worse, the treat each other poorly. During times of suffering, people start too treat each other with comfort and support, but as times get worse, they treat each other poorly. In times of suffering at first people start too treat others with comfort and love, then as times worsen, they start too treat each other poorly.…
The book Night by Elie Wiesel shows the compassion is needed in order to survive. One reason how compassion is an important part of survival is when Elie didn’t leave his father side. This happened towards the end of the book when Elie told his dad he can’t quit and that he got to keep…
One might say that since this book was about the holocaust, nothing about it is compassionate. Without compassion many characters in the story might not have survived. Yes the Nazis showed little compassion towards anyone, for the most of the story the Jews have compassion between one another. At the end of the story however little compassion is shown between the Jews. Men were fighting like animals over bread and they did not care for dead or dying Jews.…
Violated Virtues “Humanity? Humanity is not concerned with us. Today anything is allowed. Anything is possible, even those crematories….” - Chlomo Wiesel (Night, chapter 3).…
Elie Wiesel and every prisoner of the Holocaust fought with the tension Humanity vs. Dehumanization throughout the book “Night”. At the beginning of the novel Elie and the rest Jews had a regular life. They went to the Synagogue they spent time with families. They were ordinarily human beings. Nonetheless when the Hungarian police started to round up Jews everything began to change.…
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.…
We have been learning about the Holocaust and World War 2 for many years as part of our social studies curriculum. Most of us probably, and I hope, know that this was a bad thing for Hitler to do and be a part of. You always feel more empathy and sadness when you actually read documentaries about people that have experienced this terrible time. The story Night by Elie Wiesel shares her personal experiences of being kicked out of her hometown and being transported to the camps, what happened at the camps and the impact it had on her, and how there was so much death going on and barely anybody survived. Hungary a place where Jews are happily living their lives until the German armies take it all over.…

Genocides, such as the Holocaust of World War II, test their victims both mentally and physically. In surviving virtual Hell, the dehumanization process enacted upon the victims strips them of their personality, both inside and out. Through standard uniform and a robbery of one’s name, replaced with a number cruelly etched into one’s skin, the walls of a concentration camp physically make the many into one. The degradation that occurs mentally is yet even more tragic. Elie Wiesel, survivor and author of his memoir Night, recounts this experience.…
“Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.” This quote is from Eliezer Wiesel, the author of the memoir Night, which is the story of his time in concentration camps during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was during the 1940’s, in Germany. It’s hard to say Wiesel was lucky to live through this horrible period, as it’s more of how we are lucky that he survived, so we could experience the Holocaust through his eyes reading Night. The main point of this speech will be talking about humanity's plague, indifference.…
The world is filled with selfish people, but there are always people who are so selfless that they’d do anything for another person. In his memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel comes in contact with selfless people. Wiesel shows with characterization and significant details that thinking about others before yourself is the right thing to do. Being selfless is key. The way an author describes a person through characterization shows the reader what kind of person they are, in this case it’s how selfless they are.…
The Holocaust was the largest genocide that occurred in world history. Before World War II Hitler took power over Germany and that lead to millions of deaths of the Jewish population. Many survivors lived and decided to share their story. One of those survivors was Elie Wiesel. Elie was 15 years of age when he was sent to Auschwitz (Holocaust for Jews).…
Tough Decisions Approximately 11 million people died during the Holocaust, 1.1 million of those being children, and 90 percent being Jewish. However, Jewish boy, Elie Wiesel was not one of those children. He feels as though he was the only one in his family to be kept alive to write this book. Elie Wiesel 's’ book, Night, was published in 1956 after about 10 years of silence. It was first published in French and later on in English.…
Father and Son Relationship In Night By the time Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel was sixteen, he had witnessed the worst evils that humanity has ever had to offer, the Nazi Regime and The Holocaust. A dark time in history that had killed God in the eyes of over six million Jewish men, women, and children.…
