“Night” Holocaust… what is that? Who was involved in it? These are just a few questions that I had before reading the book “Night.” Prior to starting this book, I have heard many things about the holocaust, but never really planned or thought that I would be reading a book in the future, then being able to actually travel to this location. In this essay, I would like to share with you what I learned from the book, how it impacted my view on the world and last but not least, how it will benefit my upcoming trip to Europe. This story was full of facts and very important information. I was hard to not learn anything from this book. Throughout this story, it talks about Eliezer, a Jewish teens …show more content…
One-way that story has affected my view of the worlds is by being a friendly reminder to forgive. Maybe not forgive and forget, but just by forgiving, you can impact one others life, or even your life by doing so. One part of the book that stood out to me and made the forgiving aspect come into play is when Elie says, ”One more stab to the heart, one more reason to hate. One less reason to live.” This reminded me to be forgiving because you may never know what a person may be going through in their personal life, so you wouldn’t want to react to something in a way that could affect the person even more. Despite whether his/her actions were made accidently or not, forgiving is the best thing that you could do. Elie did a great job in forgiving everything and anything that put him through a struggle in the concentration camp but he did not technically forget about what happened, as that will take some time. Another way that I feel this book impacted my view of the world is that I now have a feeling of despondency. I feel that it is such a horrible thing that at that time, no one was able to put an end to what was going on. I believe that back in that time, there were more than enough people that would’ve have been able to make a difference for the people in the concentration
