Book Report On Night By Ellie Wiesel

In the memoir “Night” written by Ellie Wiesel it tells a story during the time of world war two. The story describes how people were mistreated and showed what they went through during the time. Not only how they (the jews) were treated during the time, it explained how they weren't allowed to show their real selves without being judged or looked upon as nothing.

They prayed before they were taken away, they prayed while going to the camps in the buses, they even prayed when they were in the camps. This was a way that they resisted against the nazis. The nazis didn’t want them to still believe in their gods, they didn’t want them to have hope in anything whatsoever. They already knew that the jews would die anyways so they tortured them, starved them, made them do test to see if they were still able
