In the book Night, the author describes his life being a prisoner for the Nazis. In this book, we are described with how Eli survived and what he and his father went through. We learn about how the prisoners were treated in the concentration camps. In the next two paragraphs, I will be sharing my opinion on what I think are the two most terrifying experiences the author, Eli, had to endure.
“Raised in an Orthodox family in Sighet, Transylvania, Wiesel was liberated from Buchenwald at age 16. In unsentimental detail, “Night” recounts daily life in the camps — the never-ending hunger, the sadistic doctors who pulled gold teeth, the Kapos who beat fellow Jews” (Donadio). At the end of Great Depression, Hitler was slowly gaining power and he convinced lots of people that Jews were harmful and taking all the food. The Nazis went and rounded up jews and sent them to concentration camps where they would make them work. If they could not work, they would be killed.
Night By Elie Wiesel Through his rough time at the concentration camp Elie did his best to keep his hope up. During the book Elie showed hope that kept him motivated to stay alive. In Night by Elie Wiesel it shows hopes keeps the spirit of motivation to stay alive when he was trapped under bodies, kept running/walking to the concentration camp, and keeping his dad alive. Hope was shown when Elie was trapped under bodies; he was motivated by hope to survive. In the book he said “ I succeeded to digging a hole in the wall of dead and dying people , a small hole through which I could drink a little air.”
Night, a beautifully written book by Eli Wiesal. He tells the story of what went on in the Holocaust and the struggles he faced to live through it. Elie constantly gets abused and treated like a pest throughout the whole book. The holocaust changed him and almost made him lose his will to live, humanity, and his family. He still powered through until he got liberated by America.
The book “Night”, written in 1960 by Elie Wiesel, is an autobiography that shows his experience with his father Shlomo during the Holocaust in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. This book is very popular and controversial due to its accurate account of the horrors which occurred during the Holocaust. Throughout the book, Elie Wiesel shows the themes “ Humans are capable of unimaginable evil” and “ The bond between a father and his son is very important” using deep symbolism and word choice. In the book Night, Idek is the leader of Elie and his father's work unit and is known by many Jewish prisoners for his frequent bursts of rage.
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 book Night is a autobiography told from Elie Wiesal’s perspective. It talks about his experience with his father in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944-45. Wiesel writes about how his faith is degrading to the point he believes there is no God, and how he is disgusted at humanity. The book starts in Sighet, Romania, You learn about Moshe the Beadle who is a poor man, but very religious. He was expelled like the rest of the Jews onto a cattle train and taken to Poland.
Passing through German towns, people walking by threw bread into the train to watch the Jews savage for a tiny crumb of bread, and some fights resulted in death for one. They finally arrived in Buchenwald after treacherous days of suffering. They started the journey with one hundred men, but only twelve managed to survive the journey. Elie’s sick father was on his death bed when they evacuated the train, he said to Elie: “I can’t go on…. This is the end….I’m going to die here….”
The Holocaust The Holocaust that started in January 30, 1933 killed around six million Jews and killed the mother and sister of Elie Wiesel. The Holocaust was caused by Adolf Hitler was the worst thing ever and he killed people because they were Jews. According to article five in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “It states that no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Author (Elie Wiesel) of the novel Night refers that Idek fornicated a young Polish girl “Idek jumped, turned and saw me, while the girl tried to cover her breasts.
