After reading the book Night, one might find their selves pondering how Eliezer was able to survive in such horrendous conditions, while others were inhumanly executed. The immense about of suffering these innocent people endured is unimaginable; they were swept from their normal lives, not knowing what their destiny holds. It is quite depressing to hear about families being separated, unaware that they will never see their loved ones again. What we, as readers, experience throughout this book is an actual story based upon Eliezer’s logical and emotional state. Eliezer is a very naive young man; I believe that this is one of his abundant traits that allowed him to live.…
Eliezer stating when he looks off into the distance, "I did not weep, and it pains me that I could not weep. But I had no more tears.

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…
“The feud might, perhaps, have died down or been compromised if the personal ill will of the two men had not stood in the way” (Saki 83), this quote really shows how two the main characters were foolish and instead of ending the feud between them, they kept trying to kill each other. Ulrich and Georg were both very foolish and kept trying to find each other. On page 83 author Saki states “each had hate in his heart and murder uppermost in his mind,” (Saki 83) this also shows how Georg and Ulrich kept trying to find each other instead of ending the feud. What the two main characters didn't know was that soon later an inconvenience of them being together would happen and their eyes would open of how foolish they were.…
Throughout the book, Elie was always curious why nobody said anything about the whole situation of kicking the Jews into concentration camps. There were many predictions on why the townspeople remained complacent. Of course, this far in time, there is no longer a correct answer.

Elie Wiesel’s Night teaches about the Holocaust from the perspective of a Jewish boy named Eliezer. Reading and analyzing Night has conveyed points about the Holocaust that differ from topics that I have studied in the past. The main point of my analyzation of Night is the dehumanization of the Nazis’ victims, mainly in concentration camps. Many past Holocaust books and movies that I have studied focus more on the events that happen before the concentration camps, but Night takes place almost entirely in the camps. It helps me to see the Holocaust from a different perspective than the one that I have been seeing it from every year.…
