“Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust,” (Wiesel, 1960, p.32). After seeing what was going on at Auschwitz, Elie had began to lose his faith in his God. Certain experiences of hardship and kindness can change their life. Elie began losing faith in his God when he saw that his God was letting the Nazis do this to them. It wasn’t just what the Nazis did to the Jews but also what the Jews were doing to each other. On page 24 of the book Night it said, “They struck her several times on the head---blows that might have killed her.” Traveling to Auschwitz Elie watched as other Jews began beating a poor woman because she wouldn’t be quiet. The woman kept yelling about seeing a fire. The first time everyone looked but there was nothing. She wouldn’t yell about a fire for a while then would suddenly start yelling about the fire. No one on the train would believe her. They couldn’t get her to stop yelling. Some men decided that beating her might stop her from yelling. While watching how Jews could beat up their own kind, Elie …show more content…

The hardships continued to happen throughout their “journey”. On page 95 in the book Night it said, “One day when we stopped, a workman took a piece of bread out of his bag and threw it into the wagon.” This was when they were transporting Jews to a new concentration camp.

Though he had given them food the Germans outside of the wagon thought it was entertainment to watch the Jews fight over the bread. More and more Germans began throwing bread into the wagon. It was nice of the Germans to throw the bread but it was just for their

From the time Elie first arrived at the camp and heard everyone saying prayers, to when the young pipel was hung, and even when the Jews had to make the long, arduous, trek to the other camp, the reader could see his faith dwindling as he continued to question where his God was and why he wasn’t helping the Jews. Not only was a lack of faith evident in Elie himself, but the other Jews around him, even the priests, were having trouble believing in their God. Elie’s disheartened and somber tone

In the story, Night, the absence of food caused Eliezer and others around him to slowly change themselves and their morales, hoping for a little extra soup or a crust of bread.
