While reading the book Night by Elie Wiesel, one of the things I learned about was the jews living conditions. I read about Elie living them with many other jews and it stuck out to me because how could a person live like that and stay alive? Every jew that was caught was sent to a concentration camp and had a total different way of lifestyle when being held there. Another thing that stuck out while reading the book was the SS officers. The SS officers are Hitler's protective unit.

The crime against humanity known as The Holocaust started with the initial establishment of concentration camps in 1933, and was brought to an end in 1945 with the conclusion of World War II. In May of 1944, Elie Wiesel and his family were deported to Auschwitz, and in January of 1945, Elie and his father were evacuated to Buchenwald. Night is a personal memoir that follows Elie’s journey through this Dante-esque Hell. Elie Wiesel’s autobiography is a perfect example of bildungsroman, as its entire premise is to show the effects of the Holocaust on the psyche of an idealistic young man whose faith undergoes the most severe test one could imagine. Elie applies literary strategies such as characterization, conflict, irony, juxtaposition, suspense

“I gathered all that remained of my strength in order to break rank and throw myself onto the barbed wire.” (Wiesel, 33-34) Furthermore, Elie mentions his statement in the first few days of joining the concentration camp. The ridiculous amounts of hours Elie and the other prisoners put into labor was unbelievable. Many were injured or ill due to this, and to make matters worse, all Jewish inmates must work off the supply of a portion of bread and stale soup.
