An Analysis Of Elie Wiesel's 'Night'

219 Words1 Page

Elie’s experiences within Auschwitz turned him into his own fear. Elie feared many different parts of his experiences at the concentration camp, but the fear of mistreating the only thing he had left in life, his father, was something that left Elie truly broken. The examples used previously demonstrate that Auschwitz did more than just make Elie see a son kill his own father for bread, it did more than just make Elie see people abandon each other (e.g. when Meir abandoned his father), it did more than just make Elie want to never find his father again, it did more than just make Elie see his own father die, and it did more than just make Elie selfish and cruel (e.i. when Elie grudgingly shared his meal with his dying father); his experiences

    I don’t think there is another quote out there that can better summarize life under Nazi rule. I think that this quote really gets the point across that if you see something terrible happening, and don’t try to stop it you’re just as bad as the person doing it. This really tells me that you can’t be afraid to speak up for something that is wrong, even if it means death. The quote mentions that if you stand by and lets all these bad things happen, that you are as guilty as the people doing them. I think that is very true, the counties who sat by and watched the holocaust happen are just as bad as the Nazis.

    “It always starts with the Jews but never ends with the Jews.” Antisemitic has been around throughout the middle ages and now in the 20th century where it can now be documented as its hatred is on the rise. Often, Jewish are the targets of extremist parties and their behavior and ideologies have been most of the time acceptable. Most people start with a criticism of the Israel people. That is where the line starts with the mindsets demonizing a group of people, making them look like the common enemy and that becomes antisemitism.

    In today’s society, there are people who struggle or refuse to accept one another, which is the prime motive for acts of oppression. Indifference remains an issue even now, we can acknowledge that idea with continuous racism, anti-semitism, misogyny, et cetera. The book “Night” by Elie Wiesel portrays the way life is as a Jewish child during the Holocaust, in the text Elie is beaten and treated in a dehumanizing way as he’s in a concentration camp with his father. Admittedly, people have changed, compared to citizens who were hateful in the Holocaust, but indifference is a topic that still needs to be discussed more often than it already is, this is because when nobody speaks up, these problems continue sticking with us. While it may not be

    When responding to situations in life, people must consider if what they are doing will benefit themselves or the people around them. In circumstances that demand quick thinking, people often can not form a concrete decision based on how little information and time they are given. In life, people must frequently try to do so through their daily battles with the people around them, in addition to themselves. People's hardships often affect what will compel them to respond, in many areas of a person's environment they are tied to certain deprivations in life, either privately or through another person. With those ties, come the understanding and compassion, these setbacks can help others gain a better insight into another person's difficulties.

    Did the Holocaust really happen? How are the Nazi’s let alone anyone else capable of this amount of this amount of trouble? A lot of people don 't think that the holocaust even really happened, personally I believe that it did. There are many different reasons on why the holocaust supposedly never happened but the most consistent, well believed one is that no human being is capable of causing this much torture and pain onto another person. You have probably learnt about The Holocaust from either books or in your history classes in school, but what they probably didn 't tell you that some people believe that The Holocaust never even happen.

    To find a man who has not experienced suffering is impossible; to have man without hardship is equally unfeasible. Such trials are a part of life and assert that one is alive by shaping one’s character. In the autobiographical memoir Night by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, this molding is depicted through Elie’s transformation concerning his identity, faith, and perspective. As a young boy, Elie and his fellow neighbors of Sighet, Romania were sent to Auschwitz, a macabre concentration camp with the sole motive of torturing and killing Jews like himself. There, Elie experiences unimaginable suffering, and upon liberation a year later, leaves as a transformed person.

    Elie Wiesel’s Night was by far been my favorite book that I have read over the last three and a half years. This is the best account of the horrors of the holocaust I have ever read as well. It really opened my eyes to the terrible things that happened to the people put in concentration camps and all the ghastly things that the German soldiers did. One such act that made me cringe and feel terrible inside was when he said that the SS would take babies and use them as targets by throwing them in the air and shooting them.

    Night, by Elie Wiesel is a narrative of his personal sadness, horror, and loss. The tragedy of the Holocaust is something that is hard to comprehend, and hopefully the world will never have to experience that terror and heartbreak again. Though it is hard for those of us who were not involved to understand it fully, Elie Wiesel’s retelling gives the audience a heart wrenching look into his terrifying memories and experiences during World War II. This narrative is full of themes and image patterns of a variety of different subjects, including the theme of soup. There are many ideas people have when they think of soup, such as the simplicity of the dish, the warmth it provides, and even healing when one is sick.
