Well the book and the movie are both about the Holocaust. The book “Night” was about a boy named Ellie Wiesel in the holocaust. It was written by him and told from his point of view. When the book started in 1944 Ellie Wiesel was 12 years old. In the book “Night” Ellie described his experiences inside of the concentration camps. He described how they were transported from one camp to another. He also described how they were beaten, tortured, abused, and made fun of multiple times. “Faster you filthy dogs!" We were no longer marching, we were running. Like automatons. The SS were running as well, weapons in hand. We looked as though we were running from them.” Ellie also described about how they were fed and the condition of the housing units. …show more content…
That main idea was about the holocaust and how it was evil and extremely crazy how anyone can attempt genocide like that. The movie was about a little boy named Bruno who was 8 years old. His father was a Nazi officer who had just been promoted to a higher rank. This had caused them to move closer to one of the concentration camps? Bruno ventured off to explore and he stumbled upon the concentration camp and met another young boy named “Shmuel” He had grown a weird kind of relationship with Bruno and they had started to talk about the camp. Bruno really didn’t know what was going on and neither did Shmuel. This had caused Bruno to want to go into the camp and look with Shmuel. Towards the end of the movie Bruno had found out that he is moving soon. Which made him want to go into the camp even sooner. He had gathered all of his materials and ventured out to the camp. He met Shmuel at the fence and found a way in. Once he had made it into the camp he had walked into the main area of the camp. He did not like what he saw but he wanted to help Shmuel find his father. So he stayed in the camp! The Nazis soon gathered the boys and the housing unit and brought them to the gas chamber. They had thought that they were to the showers but they had been tricked. Once they had already killed them his parents had figured out that Bruno was in the camp. It was already to late to save
“Night” by Ellie Wiesel is a memoir of Ellie’s years during the Holocaust at the Nazi’s concentration camps. The book is his true story telling about the death of his friends and family,what he encountered, and how he started to lose faith in God. Ellie experienced many instances of dehumanization like when the Germans threw bread, and when he was cruelly punished. When the Front was moving closer to the camps, the Nazis moved Ellie and the others to Buchenwald. When they arrived, many Germans were watching the train while laughing and throwing bread.
The novel ‘Night’ written by Elie Wiesel and the film ‘Schindlers List’ directed by Steven Spielberg, are both based in World War 2 and more specifically the holocaust and the attempted cleanse of the Jewish race. These two texts both heavily demonstrate the horrors and brutalities that the Jewish people had faced during the holocaust. The two depictions of these events have many similarities although one being word and the other being film, however they differ in perspective, Schindlers List showing an outside look at the events where Night is a first person experience. The two representations of the holocaust, although are opposites of perspective both do not shy away from showing the brutalities and the wickedness that took
The book Night written by holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, illustrates life in the holocaust. Through life in ghettos, labour camps, concentration camps, death camps and the final death march. Every Jew in Europe during the Holocaust has a different story, and Elie Wiesel is just one of the 6 million that are out there. Elie’s experience during the Holocaust has many similarities to other experiences, but also many differences. When Hitler came to power in 1933, there was an immediate hatred against Jews.
From the beginning he heard the deaths of people. Now he's taken to the camps and sees it with his own eyes. “ Not far from us flames were leaping up from a ditch, gigantic flames. They were burning something. A lorry drew up at the pit and delivered its load-little children.
Then, he feels depressed for a few days and starts going to the backyard and finds a window which lead to him in a different world than he lives in. Also, he made a new friend named Schmuel and started going there regularly to play with him. Because of, not telling Bruno that he now lives near a concentration camp, he never knew not to go there. Instead, he thinks it’s a farm and crawls inside with Schmuel at last and by wearing “pajamas”. As a result of this, Bruno and Schmuel, both get thrown into the gas chamber and get killed at the end.
If we come back late from the Soldiers’ Home we have to show passes” (Remarque,1985,1929,p.187).Although the soldiers were not under the same exact confinements as the prisoners some of their restrictions flowed over into the lives of soldiers. The soldiers were confined and watched under the guards along with the soldiers unknowingly. The separation from their families is something both men had to deal with unwillingly due to the circumstances they were placed in. In war, men are separated from their family for months at a time.
January 30th, 1933 is a date that will forever haunt the minds of many people of our world today. The Holocaust, a massacre where Adolf Hitler's Nazi army deliberately killed millions of Jewish people. In this span of time until May 8th, 1945, hope was lost, humanity was broken, and the faith of the Jewish was twisted in their minds forever. Many different people approach their faith very differently from others. Whether someones faith is in someone or something, there seems to be a spark of hope when someone considers their will to live with that faith.
The book Night is written by a Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Elie Wiesel. He shows us what it was like to live through such horror. Sometimes I think that he made stuff up, but unfortunately it was all true. There were many themes in the book like family, silence, and self-preservation, but there are three main themes all throughout the book - inhumanity, denial, and religion/faith.
I now have a added perspective of how horrible this time in history was. People did anything so they would not have to be sent away to the concentration camps where there was a good chance that they would be killed. For example, one scene in the movie showed children hiding in the outhouse, so they would not be taken away like the rest of the children. The Jewish people should not have been treated likes this, but it is important that future generations learn about what happened. This will be helpful in stopping this from happening ever again.
Why did he move? What does his father exactly do? Who are those people on the other side of the fence and what are they doing over there? These are Bruno's questions that he never lived to get the answers to. Movies are often based off its original form as a book.
The Holocaust can be called one of the darkest sides and the biggest tragedies of the human civilization. There are many different stories and experiences that recap what happened in the camps. Each one is unique from the next, but also shares similarities with in each other. There are two stories that interest many people and have similarities and differences. In the novel Night and in the movie "Life is Beautiful", the Holocaust was experienced both similarly and differently through the mood of sadness, father/ son relationship, and self-preservation.
Fear is Destructive Fear causes people to makes judgements. It’s what makes people cautious and skittish, mostly in unsafe situations. Without fear people’s life would be at risk. Throughout the memoir Night fear builds up over time, starting when the Germans taking over Sighet, they slowly start to take over their lives.
During his work, he was informed that the residents, along with the manager, were Jews in hiding. Then soon after, the Jewish adults were being removed from society, Bruno decided to meet with Albert Van Den Berg, who was connected and a part of an organization who moved Jewish children into more safe hiding spots. This was the start to reach more meaningful, real accomplishments in Bruno’s life. He rode his bike place to place, working alone to protect his peers, in search of hiding places for Jews. along with the help of his new colleague, Albert.
During WW2 Hitler had tried to prove that Germany was trying to that germany was strong enough they destroyed Jewish people. The Night book was by Elie Wiesel. It talks about what happened during the Holocaust. Wiesel talked about how the German were treating the Jewish people in the concentration camps. He talked about the concentration camps and the war.
The Holocaust was a horrible event in history that will scar humanity forever. With the events of the Holocaust being experienced by millions there are many different perspectives of said events. One such perspective is presented in Night, a memoir written by Elie Wiesel about his experiences as a young Jewish boy during the Holocaust. Another perspective is presented in Schindler’s List, a film directed by Steven Spielberg (based on the novel Schindler’s Ark by Thomas Keneally) about Oskar Schindler, a gentile who saves over one thousand Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Both pieces show heart wrenching stories of the abuse of a group of people in different ways, each using different mediums to convey their points.
