The Holocaust was a terrible time. Many Jewish people were captured and taken to concentration camps by the Nazis. Elie and his family are taken to a concentration camp, when they get there the are separated with other Jews. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, he explains how the Nazis dehumanize the Jews by not giving them enough food to survive, treating them like animals, and separating them from their families.
In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, the Nazis don't give the Jews enough food to survive. They have to trade their own valuables that they got to keep or the Nazis don’t know they have, to get food just to survive. Some of the Jews have to take the valuables of other Jews to get food.

56). This is implying that Franket wants Elies gold tooth, and because he took so long to give it to him he has to give him a ration of his bread to give to the dentist to pull it out. The dentist most likely is also hungry and has no food which is why Franek has to give him some as payment. The Nazis have to transport the Jews to other camps so they load them up on long trains. While waiting for the train they only got the usual ration of bread. Since the train took so long the arrive all the inmates were hungry and had to start eating the snow.

After he was caught the Idek said, “Lie down on it! On your belly!” I obeyed. I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip.’’ (pg 57). If he told anyone about it what he had saw he would get whipped again many more times then he had before. Maybe even until he died.
