Response To Elie Wiesel's Night

256 Words2 Pages

I learned a lot of new information while reading Night, there were many things I didn’t know about the Holocaust before that I know about now. I never knew much about the conditions of the camps or how the people were treated there, I just knew that they were dreadful places. Now I can have an image of the camps in my head, what it looked like for the people who had to live in these horrendous camps. They committed so many execrable acts on people, they performed experiments on people, murdered whoever they wanted, starved people and many more gruesome things. I didn’t realize how bad the conditions really were and how badly the people were treated. They killed dozens and dozens of people and did it on a daily basis. I didn’t know how many

    The anchoring fear and pain that “Night” brought to me gave me chills as I spent my nights thinking about the traitorous ideals that plagued this world in the past. The pain that you and your family felt brought me to tears by the amount of loss that you had to endure. I believe that if I was put in your position years ago I couldn't handle it like you did and have the will to survive day in and day out for the allied forces to save me. Your story gave me a different mindset by teaching me wars need to stop and we all need to come together not as different races or religions but as human beings and as equals. By writing this book you have taught me and generations to come that we need to change this world for the better.

    Elie: Throughout the book we see Elie change from a relatively normal teenage school boy and into a emotionally hardened young man who has become so accustomed to death that he rarely gives it a second thought, even if the person dying was a friend . This change took place because of the tortuous conditions that the Nazi´s subjected him to and that he lost so many family members and friends along the way. My passage shows Elie at a time when he is just starting his journey, yet you can tell that the concentration camps and the Nazi´s have already had a very serious effect on him. ¨He must have died, trampled under the feet if the thousands of men who followed us.

  • Tragic Irony In Elie Wiesel's Night

    313 Words  | 2 Pages

    In chapter one of Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, his purpose behind his use of excessive tragic irony is to display the astonishing amount of innocence and unawareness the Jews have about the Germans’ plans. For instance, Wiesel displays the Jews’ ignorance when he writes, ““There was joy, yes joy. People must have thought there could be no greater torment in God’s hell than that of being stranded here, on the sidewalk” (16). This exemplifies how the Jews truly believe that the situation was going to get better. This is tragically ironic because their situation was not going to get better, it was going to get much worse.

    I learned many things about the Holocaust while reading the book Night and some of them were that there is a process that they go through many times called selection, they treat them way more poorly than I thought they did, and I also learned how they were forced to separate and do what they say, otherwise they would be shot. Before reading the book Night, I had no idea what selection was and how it worked. I learned that you are put on a certain side because of many things such as how you look. I have read other books about the Holocaust and they treated them very poorly. I just realized how much worse it was than I thought and it was neat to hear about it from someone who actually went through it.
