Book Report On Night By Elie Wiesel

512 Words3 Pages

Hitler killed and tortured many innocent people, and gained a following known as the Nazis. World War II lasted six years in Europe, however many people didn’t anything about it for years. Today people have technology and can communicate with others in a matter of seconds. However in 1939 this technology was not available and that lead to people being in the dark to what really was happening. I think the world didn’t do anything because they were scared and thought it was unbelievable or because they didn’t know in the first place.
During WWII many thought the idea of the holocaust was impossible and crazy. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, Moshe the beadle was deported before the rest of the Sighet Jews. Moshe the beadle somehow escapes the concentration camp and returns to warn the Sighet community about the horrible things the Nazis were doing. The community thought he was insane and took him for a lunatic. Elie and the community could not accept the holocaust because they were scared it might actually be happening. Moshe the beadle tried to help them and save them, but they pushed him away and told him he was a lunatic. Sometimes people do …show more content…

When Shlomo tried not to worry about their situation, everyone followed his lead. All Shlomo wanted was to keep the community calm and to not make things worse. Leaders like Shlomo usually try not to panic because if he panics then everyone panics. Shlomo convinced the community to stay quiet about the holocaust when they should not be. He may have thought that it was not truly real, and that people should not be concerned over something that probably won’t happen to them. Maybe he thought that since he has never heard of the Nazis before, it’s not a big deal, or the chances are probably slim for the Nazis to take them. I am sure Shlomo just wanted to protect the community, but bad things were happening and they didn’t do anything about

    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.

    By the time they en figured out what hitler and the Nazis were doing it was to late to do anything because the Nazis had already established over 20,000 camps for the labor, transit, and extermination of the jews. The thought of being sent to one of those camps is enough to make any man pee his pants a little. I can’t imagine that the jews felt any differently. They knew more than anyone that any kind of revolt without help would pretty much be the annihilation of the jews who attempted, so they decided to avoid the Nazis as much as possible which is completely understandable most likely anyone in such a situation would react the same

    Faith was lost, and it was because of what Elie has been through. Nobody deserves to go through something like this. These people were treated worse than animals. The holocaust is proof of what people have the power of doing to each other even though we are all human. I haven’t been anywhere close to being a prisoner in a concentration camp, and Elie didn’t give up, but if I would be in his place, I would try really hard not to lose my faith.

  • What Happened During The Holocaust

    I think the author's purpose for writing this book is to not discriminate against people and what race or religion they are, to inform people who read the book about what happened during the holocaust and to show that some people were uninformed about what was actually going on during that time. In the book, Bruno, the main character, moves to a house right outside of the camp and meets a boy named Shmuel. Shmuel is on the other side of the fence, and Bruno does not understand that Shmuel is trapped and is being treated terribly. He also doesn’t see Shmuel as different, like most people did during the years of the holocaust, and I think that’s one way the author tried to tell us that not everyone was informed about what was actually going on,

    Which then could turn into the emotions of pride and compliance. In an interview with Holocaust survivor Irene Weiss, she expresses, “It was very dangerous for anyone to show any kind of consideration to Jews… because anyone who can point out another person that helped the Jew, or he hid a Jew, or he gave him some meal or something was immediately interrogated and threatened. And their own families were in danger.” This indicates that the people who saw this as wrong were also in extreme danger. The Nazis ruled out of fear.
