Throughout the Holocaust, and the novel Night, many Jewish people, including Elie Wiesel and his family, were progressively being brutalized under Hitler's power. He tells the story of his experience being dehumanized by the Nazis in the concentration camps. Dehumanization is when people treat others as if they were just objects and not actual people. The Nazis took the Jewish people's homes, money, food, they beat them and used them as slaves inside the concentration camps.
There are many examples of the Jews being dehumanized in the novel that is very upsetting to know that these events happened. First of all, they were forced out of their homes, then the Nazis shipped out the Jews in cattle cars to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. …show more content…
He was steadfast when it came to this idea and went out to slaughter millions of Jews. He did this by putting people in concentration camps. In those camps, people were barely fed anything, they were forced to work vigorously out in the weather, and many people died from those reasons. Countless amount of people died from either getting shot, gassed, bombed, or hanged.
This helped Hitler in a multitude of ways. One way was to show how truly powerful he was, and how manipulative he was. The only way he could have done this was the thousands of people who followed and supported him. They were the ones who fueled the Nazi movement. His soldiers did most of the hard work for him, as in actually fighting the battles and running the concentration camps. Without Hitler’s followers almost all of the Holocaust would not have been possible.
Dehumanization was used in multiple ways during the Holocaust, not just on Wiesel and his family but all of the other people that Hitler targeted. It ripped the life out of people, making them wish they were dead. It was a tactic used successfully against the Jewish people and many others. The Holocaust was a horrible time in our history and everyone needs to learn from it so history does not repeat
