Throughout all the chaos that ensued, the one distinction that hindered the Jewish people from freedom was their inexplicable silence and dignity. In desperation to escape and be liberated, the Jewish prisoners heavily outnumbered the German guards. As the young men were urging an attack against the guards the elders begged and pleaded that they refrained from attacking them. As an Elder muttered, “we mustn’t give up hope even now as the sword hangs over our heads. So taught our sages….”…

Systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of over 6 million Jews by the Nazi regime. That is the Holocaust. Many people survived to tell their stories of suffering and torture. One of the most prominent survivors was Elie Wiesel. The book Night was written by Elie Wiesel.…
During the 1900s, the Holocaust was a horrific time to be alive. Jews were being distinguished by a major military organization known as the Schutzstaffel. Adolf Hitler and his men were separating Jewish families from each other by assassinating them and stealing the wealth they accumulated. But no one would soon believe that a survivor would have the abilities and the strength to publish and write such a memorable book that would soon inform the world about the Holocaust. Night, a novel produced by a first hand Jew named Eliezer Wiesel, puts audience members into a world that was filled with death, loss, and Jewish prisoners who were contemplating whether or not God truly did amazing things.…
The book “The Messiah: Revealed, Rejected, Received” by William Varner explains to us what a messiah is and why we even need a messiah.. The book shows that when the Jews wanted God to send them down someone they were not satisfied with what God had in store for them. Lastly we see who the messiah God sent is, and how that after most people walked away from the Lord, some were still choosing to follow. As this book goes into great detail addressing all those topics I just mentioned, the overall theme is showing us what a messiah is and what the importance of one is from the point of view of a believer, while still being aware of the Jews believed.…
Language is more than a method of purely transferring interpretation; it can also transfer emotion. Whereas voice involves cadence, body assertion, and even facial articulation, the words written on a page are compelled to demonstrate more than just what is being told through a series of other strategies and manners usually implanted in the writer’s voice. Both the memoirs I Have Lived a Thousand Years by Livia Bitton-Jackson, and Night by Elie Wiesel, transfer the nature of oppression through certain methods of voice, particularly syntax and tone.…
As Hamaoui translates from the memoir Night “The passage uses the poetry and language of faith to affirm a shattering of faith”(Hamaoui 128). The Jewish people struggling to survive the Holocaust are using faith and religion to keep themselves alive. Over time the Jews begin to question God’s willingness to stop the Holocaust. The loss of faith is hard for Elie to keep moving forward in the fight for freedom. Elie starts to believe God has left them to die, so they begin to abandon religion.…
According to political scientist Raul Hilber, Holocaust survivors shared these common features: “realism, rapid decision making, and tenacious holding on to life.” This definably holds true in the book Night, by Elie Wiesel. Throughout Night there are countless examples of prisoner losing the will to live. The survivors in the book draw on external and internal forces to press on. This essay will focus on three examples of prisoners losing their will to live, the events that influence the lose of hope, and what forces survivors draw on to continue living.…
Eliezer’s struggle to maintain faith in a Benevolent God- Throughout the holocaust people’s trust in God was put to the test. Before Eliezer was abducted from his home and became a prisoner of the concentration camps, his certainty and unconditional worship was absolute. At the age of twelve he said that he “believed profoundly.…
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.…
Author’s use multiple tactics in order to portray many different ideas and layer to their audience. Things such as themes and symbols help the readers focus on the central idea of the story that relates to a specific event in history. In his novel The Prince of Mist, author Carlos Ruiz-Zafron uses things such as imagery, locations, and symbolism to emphasize on the events of the second world war which took place in 1939- 1945. Ruiz-Zafron uses things such as location and events in order to display the setting of the book. One prime example of this method would be in chapter one : “we are moving” he announced, “To a beach house in a small town on the coast.…
