Elie Wiesel: The Great Humanitarian

Elie at the young age of 15 was deported by the Hungarian Gendarmerie, the German SS, and police from Sighet, Romania to his first concentration camp. In these death camps, Elie, witnessed first hand how terrible the Holocaust was. He was

He wrote a book about his own experiences during the war. According to the book, Night, we would notice that there were four chances given to him and his family, they might have been saved if they made a different decision. First, Moshe the Beadle tried to convince the Jews of Sighet to get away from the persecution, but they didn’t listened to him. The second chance was when Elie tried to convince his father to sell the business and emigrate to Palestine. The third chance was when the Wiesel family refused the safe refuge offered by their former servant, Martha. And the last chance was when Elie and his father were given the choice to stay at the camp hospital or be evacuated with other prisoners, they chose to evacuate with the others. It was sad to know that they missed all the chances, it would be great if I can go back and warn

Elie Wiesel was a teenager that grew up in Sighet, Transylvania, who was taken from his home, along with his family, to a concentration camp in Auschwitz and then later moved to Buchenwald in 1944. In the camps, Elie had to survive the hardships and cruelty of the Holocaust. There were three main things that focused on survival, food, family, and most importantly, faith.

Elie Wiesel is a Holocaust survivor who strongly believes that people need to share their stories about the Holocaust with others. Elie Wiesel was in concentration camps for about half of his teen years along with his father. After being the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust he resolved to make what really happened more well-known. Elie Wiesel wrote dozens of books and submitted an essay titled “A God Who Remembers” to the book This I Believe. The essay focused on Elie Wiesel’s belief that those who have survived the Holocaust should not suppress their experiences but must share them so history will not repeat itself. Elie Wiesel’s essay, “A God Who Remembers,” was successful in both informing others about the Holocaust and

My thought of Elie Wiesel talking about compassion is, since he was in the Holocaust some like Miep and Mr. Kraler showed compassion to the Franks and Van Daans by giving them a place to to hide and food to eat so they can survive. Elie Wiesel must of shown a lot of compassion to people and that might be one of the reasons why he survived Auschwitz he must have shown compassion to some or most and he might have been shown compassion by those people. When I first saw Elie Wiesel I saw that he had a good soul. He didn’t look like he would do anything bad to anyone. I could image him as that person who’s always there for you, he shows compassion.

He was put into labor camps at a young age and was torn from his family. Like any other jew he was trapped in a ghetto, transported to a camp, and evaluated in the selection. He has gone through every painful event in the holocaust and the most painful event was knowing how his father died and that his father death brought him joy not sorrow. The Holocaust is an important because it shapes who he is. Wiesel wouldn 't have become a fighter for peace if he wouldn 't have experienced all the terrible thing his own kind did to him, the beatings, the hunger and the pain. Without the experience he would not be the same. Not fame wise, but all his work and want to bring peace all over like in African countries in need of

Elie Wiesel lived during the holocaust. He stayed in a consentration camp and lived. He wrote the book Night. Wiesel had to overcome 1.Faith , 2.Looseing his dad , and 3.Bad living conditions . These adversities made Elie Wiesel become the man he is today; he is truly a humanitarian.

The severely cruel conditions of concentration camps had a profound impact on everyone who had the misfortune of experiencing them. For Elie Wiesel, the author of Night and a survivor of Auschwitz, one aspect of himself that was greatly impacted was his view of humanity. During his time before, during, and after the holocaust, Elie changed from being a boy with a relatively average outlook on mankind, to a shadow of a man with no faith in the goodness of society, before regaining confidence in humanity once again later in his life.

Throughout Elie Wiesel’s Night, his character changes. These changes were in response to his hostile environment. Wiesel was forced to adapt, causing him to lose his identity and his religion.

A relationship between a father and a son is a sacred bond, one created at birth and strengthened over time. This paternal relationship is core to the value of family, a likewise bond of faith and trust. Such bonds are tested during times of hardship and pain, seen most clearly during times of war. During the events of World War II, and the gruesome events of the Holocaust, this truth was never more true. Through works such as the memoir Night, by survivor Elie Wiesel, and the artistry of the 1997 film Life is Beautiful, directed by Roberto Benigni, these times of hardships are kept alive in common memory. Through contrasting the lives of Elie Wiesel, and the fictional character of Giosue from Life is Beautiful, in the concentration camp, the evolution of the father-son relationship over time can be seen.

Wiesel uses his cultural experiences and point of view sot that he could prove he spent time and survived the concentration camps in order to communicate that the past must be remembered that way it cannot destroy the future, he spent time in a concentration camps and he

The development of Elie Wiesel’s tone in his memoir Night, gradually changes into optimistic into mournful which then contributes to the theme of losing of faith and hope. Wiesel’s tone in his memoir constantly stays mournful, but in the beginning of the story, it was rather optimistic.

Elie Wiesel voiced his emotions and thoughts of the horrors done to Jewish people during World War II whilst developing his claim. Wiesel “remember[s] his bewilderment,” “his astonishment,” and “his anguish” when he saw they were dropped into the ghetto to become slaves and to be slaughtered. He repeats the words “I remember” because he and the world, especially those who suffered in the ghettos and camps, would never be able to forget how innocent suffered. Consequently, he emphasized that “no one” has the right to advocate for the dead. Like many other people in the world, he lost his family during the war. He lost people

Imagine losing everything that you once had, your friends, family, all of your possessions, and everything else that once belonged to you. This is what happened to Elie Wiesel when his family was taken from him during the Holocaust. Wiesel lived in a small religious town. He was sent to Auschwitz and then sent to Buchenwald for his religion (Jewish). A little while after the war, he moved to France and then to the United States to become a professor at Boston University. Before he was ever sent to any concentration camps, he buried his watch at his old house in Sighet, Romania. Later, after the war he went back and unburied his watch, but then ended up leaving it there because he felt like a thief. He hoped that somebody would find it and then it would force them to recall the past. In “The Watch” by Elie Wiesel, he walks away from his watch to forget about the past and move on. He also moves on to forgive what others have done to him. The final thing that he does in this story is he reburries his watch to show others we should remember/not forget the past. Wiesel shows through the protagonists’ forgiveness, leaving his watch, and moving on to show that it’s you should forgive, but not forget what has happened to you.

Being the last sentence of the book, and out of all the passages I highlighted this one stood out to me and described Wiesel’s experience in just a few simple sentence. He looked at himself for the first time in many years, and did not recognize himself he saw a different person. This showed me that the concentration camps changed him he was a different person inside and out. The events that occurred to him had scared him so much that the man he saw in the mirror wasn’t him, but one who had been drained of life that looked lifeless from the events occurred in the concentration camps. He was weak and this whole passage embodies his weakness and the whole point of the concentration camps. Wiesel was not the only man who was put in
