Night Final Essay “For God’s sake, where is God? Where He is? This is where ----- hanging from the gallows.” - Elie Wiesel.…
In the end of Night, Eliezer and his weakened father arrives at Buchenwald after a forced march and a death train transportation. In the train, food is thrown into the cars by people in the passing towns who then watches as the starving prisoners fought and killed each other to get food. Dead bodies, whether dead from starvation or illness, are being thrown out of the train cars by guards. His father barely breathing, Eliezer jolts up and begins to slap his father.…
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…
Elie replied in his mind and said the sentence. It’s where his faith was starting to diminish.…
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.…

Sometimes life can be disappointing when pain is inevitable. However it is important that no matter how bad things may seem, to consistently have hope and believe that everything happens for a reason . As the memoir “Night” begins, it is shown that Elie’s motivation/hope in life is his faith. For example when he is asked by Moishe and Beadle, why he prays to god he simply responds saying “Why did I pray? . . . Why did I live?…
This thought process the he is going through at this moment is completly understandable because he had lived such a sheltered religious life he could never imagine that HIS GOD would ever allow that to happen to his…
During the Holocaust, over 6 million Jewish people were murdered. Elie Wiesel is one of the few people who managed to survive the severe persecution Jewish people faced during World War 2. Throughout his memoir Night, he recounts his time in concentration camps and reflects on the experiences he endured throughout his time in Nazi Germany. Fighting through death, pain, and confusion of faith, Elie manages to avoid becoming yet another name on the list of victims of the Holocaust. In the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel uses Eliezer’s change in faith to show how the hardships Jewish people endured during the Holocaust put a strain on their beliefs.…
At the beginning of Night, Elie is a devout Jewish student and indulges himself in his religious studies in nearly every waking moment he has. When Moishe the Beadle approaches him one day and asks Ellie why he cries when he prays, Elie thinks, “I had never asked myself that question. I cried because… something inside me felt the need to cry. That was all I knew.” (4) Elie himself does not even understand his deep devotion to God.…
Losing the Most Valuable Possession Identity is important because it truly defines who the person is, but it is very easy to lose your identity. The Holocaust was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazis killed many Jewish people. The Nazis sent the Jews to concentration camps, tortured them and striped them out of their identities. In his memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel describes the awful actions the Nazis did to him and his family; for example, they forced the Jews to wear a yellow star armband, which makes them feel less of a human, and slowly made the Jews forget who they were. By using details that describe pain and suffrage, Wiesel shows that when mankind is tormented and isolated from the rest of the world, people can lose their identity which leads to a desire to give up on life.…
At the beginning of the story, when Elie spent his night at Auschwitz, the concentration camp, he describes it as, “Never shall I forget that night... Never shall I forget these things, even, if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.” (34). The use of repetition showed how Elie’s life and faith changes over night.…
Night: by Elie Wiesel I chose to do a book report on this book called: “Night” written by Eliezer Wiesel. The author, Eliezer Wiesel is an actual survivor of the Holocaust, and he endured the suffering of living in the Auschwitz labour camps. This book is a first hand memoir of the horrors and painful experiences Elie Wiesel had endured when he was only fifteen years old. Throughout the book, Elie describes his struggle to keep his faith in God, as he is unable to believe that a loving God could allow horrible things happen to his “chosen” people. The title of the book, “Night” , refers to the the darkness and silence that Elie went through as a teenager living in a concentration camp.…
To begin with, when Elie was sitting, praying, Moishe, a friend of the the community, smiles and asked, “Why do you cry when you pray?’ , he asked as though he knew me well”,(p.4). Elie was a true believer in god and had an image of god that he had immense faith in. He was a very spiritual man and he was a very god- conscious person. To him, praying was like a second nature.…
