Evidently, throughout the novel, forms of racial, physical, and religious discrimination occurred. Furthermore, examples of discrimination in the book include Hitler’s interactions with people
Dehumanization in “Night” is represented in the discrimination and deniance of simplest human necessities. Hitler developed his hatred for the Jewish religion after WWI, believing that they were the source of Germany’s economic decline. Jews also seemed an easy target to blame due to history’s track record of antisemitic views dating back to Ancient Egypt. Hitler created concentration camps, factories of death, to eradicate Jews because Hitler thought they were inferior. This discrimination took place in countless places through the book; one, for example, when the Jewish ghettos were being liquidated everyone was forced to remain within their lines; they were denied water all day while standing in the blasting heat of the sun.
The book Night by Ellie Wiesel, gives the account of a teenage boy going through the horrendous events of the Holocaust with his father by his side, though this is one of the many accounts of the Holocaust it is crucial to society that we learn the lesson behind it. The lesson to learn from this horrifying event, is to accept all humans for who they are and not be prejudice against their religion or race. In the dissection of section one of Night the readers can spot how blind the Jews of Sighet are to Hitler’s cruelty and power.

Zeke Vanguardia Mrs. O’Hagan ELA 2 27 February 2023 Night Essay The Holocaust was an indescribable time in history, affecting millions of those innocent who were deemed unworthy by Nazi-German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, and his supposed perfect, Aryan race. Those considered unfit by the standards of the Aryan race, especially those of the Jewish race/religion, would undergo cruel, inhumane conditions and labor in concentration camps throughout Europe.

It is well-known that there were several historical events where people of a certain race were treated unhumanly because of their race and religion. The novel The Boy on the Wooden Box describes one of these events, the Jewish Holocaust, from the perspective of a twelve-year-old boy named Leon. Throughout the World War II years of his life, Leon is beaten, whipped, slapped, and severely starved by the Nazis. It is clear that even through differences, all humans are equal, as shown through Leon’s comparison of himself to Hitler and the other Germans, and the horrible treatment he endured from the Nazi officers.
Racial discrimination is a huge part of the novel and multiple characters go through it. The first example is Calpurnia, Scout’s housekeeper. At first, Scout doesn’t respect Calpurnia much, but after Scout hears her speaking a different language, she learns to respect her a bit more, saying, “That Calpurnia lead a modest double life never dawned on me.” This quote shows the shift between not respecting Calpurnia to learning to respect her more for being herself even though the rest of the community doesn’t respect her because she’s black. The second example of racial discrimination is obviously the Tom Robinson case.

Discrimination is a tactic people use to show dominance over a group of people they find inferior. Discrimination invokes fear and distrust in the people it is inflicted on. During World War II, discrimination was the driving force of the fighting. While Hitler was in power, he instilled antisemitic ideas into the mind of his people. This led to the majority of the Jewish population of Europe being put in concentration camps, to be tortured, and or killed.
In the novel Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Grantz the nazis shows prejudice by targeting young jews during the holocaust. On page 41 it states, “I must reach out my arms and beg: Mothers and fathers, give me your children!” them wanting children was only for their personal benefit, work, and they believed that jews of any kind would just make more “impure” kids, kids with mental, physical, or even biologically related reasons were a cause for which they targeted them. Another piece of evidence is on page 8, it says, “Then one morning, I walked to school, and it was canceled. For good I was told.
In the book, Night, Dehumanization majorly affects the Jews. Dehumanization is the process by which the Nazis gradually reduced the Jews to little more than things. It makes the Jews want to give up. There are many examples of dehumanization, including beating, selection, and robbery.

Dehumanization Causing Events in Night Over the course of Eliezer’s holocaust experience in the novel Night, the Jews are gradually reduced to little more that “things” which were a nuisance to Nazis. This process was called dehumanization. Three examples of events that occurred which contributed to the dehumanization of Eliezer, his father, and his fellow Jews are: people were divided both mentally and physically, those who could not work or who showed weakness were killed, and public executions were held.
Throughout the novel, dehumanization has contributed to and resulted in large amounts of conflict. People’s positivity is stripped away leaving only negativity. Society then finds a way to cope with their unhappiness, usually resulting in an increase in negative effects. One example of how censorship created negative conflicts includes, “A carful of children… had seen a man, a very extraordinary sight, a man strolling, a rarity… They would have killed me…

In his book The Book Thief, he describes Liesel Meminger, the main character, and her troubles, from the horrible violence of the Nazis to the stinging pain of hunger to the delicious
