Crematory

at Gleiwitz and then they were transported to Buchenwald by train. There they are rescued by Americans and a resistance group that attacked the camp. Sadly Elie’s father died in Buchenwald before the rescue due to a sickness and being sent to the crematory. Dehumanization of the Jewish people in “Night” ,by Elie Wiesel, happened in a variety of ways and helped Hitler achieve his ideas about Jewish people. In “night” we see how the Jewish people are being oppressed and dehumanized in so many…

Dehumanization in Night One of the world’s darkest periods, known as the Holocaust, was initiated and lead by Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a malicious man who over the course of his reign ultimately killed about six million Jews. Many of them were deported and distributed to concentration camps where German Nazis used numerous methods to torture innocent people. Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night documents the atrocities he experienced during World War II. Not only were these victims starved, beaten and…

In this piece of the memoir told from Elie’s perspective, Elie and his father had just been separated from his mother and sister, and were walking towards the crematorium at Auschwitz. Elie thinks they are going to be sent to the crematory and burned alive. He leans over to his father and explains his plan: “If that is so, I don’t want to wait here. I’m going to run into the electric wire. That would be better than slow agony in the flames.” When he tells this to his father, it gives…

For so many years, Jews were part of a somewhat peaceful life. When one day Hitler decided to destroy all the Jews, he could. That is when disaster struck! Nazis started destroying all the Jews they could. Despite the dangers, non-Jews sacrificed their lives to help save Jews. In 1933, hell froze over in Poland. Nazis started to take over more and more of Poland every day. When Nazis started taking over Poland they made Jews stay in Ghettos. Ghettos were not fun at all, they had very little…

Adolf Hitler, leader of the fascist Nazi party, seized power in Germany during early 1933. Almost immediately after, they began scapegoating Jewish people, blaming them for the problems Germany faced after World War I. On April 1st of the same year, a national boycott of Jewish owned businesses was announced. In the weeks that followed, legislations were passed forcing Jews out of civil services. This was part of Hitler’s larger plan to exterminate all Jewish people from Germany and…

Before World War 2 the mood in Germany was grim. Many people felt angry at the German Government and believed that they were too weak to do anything (sorce 1). One man named Adolf Hitler, who had once been a soldier then came to Dictatorship. He gained many people's interest when he told the people he would make them stronger (source 2). He then started a party called the Nazi party where they blamed the Jews for the loss of World War 1. He kept Jews in concentration camps and ended up killing…

add on, Elie Wiesel vividly describes his thoughts when his father perishes from dysentery. Wiesel narrates, “I awoke January 29 at dawn. In my father’s place lay another invalid. They must have taken him away before dawn and carried him to the crematory. He may still have been breathing. There were no prayers at his grave. No candles were lit in his memory. His last word was my name. A summons, to which I did not respond” (Wiesel 112). Mr. Wiesel clearly conveys the regret he has from his…

Imagine one day, you wake up and your family is gone. Then you knew you were about to die. This is what the Jews faced during the Holocaust. Six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust and World War II (“Why did Hitler hate Jews?” by Anne Frank). Half of the Jewish population was wiped out. Jews were hated because of malicious lies made up by Hitler and the Nazis. Hitler and the Nazis had convinced Germans that Jews had been responsible for certain events like losing World War I and the…

Scientifically, silence is no more than merely a lack of sound. An environment and all it possesses are delicately harmonic, radiating a simply serene aura. On the other hand, silence is much more complicated as it impacts human expression and stability. When one is forced into silence, there can be evidence of imprisonment, torment, and intellectual change. In Night written by Elie Wiesel, the story of his experience during the Holocaust, silence is given an entirely new definition. Wiesel…

This essay expands on the father-and-son relationships within the book, and how they change through time due to the horrific…
