The saddest aspect of the Holocaust was not how many lives were lost, but how how many souls were killed, tortured, and put through excruciating pain. By the end of Night the surviving prisoners were completely different people, people who could only think about the horrid, monstrous things in the world, people who were guilty for what they were forced to watch and do to their fellow prisoners, people who had very little humanity left in them.
