After watching the documentary I think you really get a sense of how horrific the Holocaust was. I mean we always learn about it in school, but it is usually through textbooks and primary source documents. We learn about the atrocities; however the American educational system touches upon it lightly. Ultimately, Americans only get a small idea of what the Holocaust was especially to the Jewish people. We learn so much about the Holocaust, but not about who lived by it. Watching Elie and Oprah go through Auschwitz really helps you understand how much this place destroyed lives. Wiesel really gets you to understand how horrible this place was and the atrocities that went on there. Being a Holocaust survivor means Elie can really teach us. He has written so many books about his experience, loss, and pain. Wiesel tells us the story because he lived it and he makes it so much more powerful. The fact that he even went back to Auschwitz is astounding to me because of everything he went through. He may have spoken throughout the documentary, but his whispering showed us how much pain and even fear he had of the death camp. There is so much dark history surrounding Auschwitz and he was a living relic of that place. To him this place was hell, but it is also a resting place for his family and his …show more content…
Elie can tell her everything that happened from the day he walked into Auschwitz to the day he walked out. Everything Wiesel says is so specific like he remembers it from yesterday. He remembers Auschwitz like it is ingrained in his memory and that is so powerful. Elie can give you an entire tour of this compound and can probably answer about every question because he lived it all. Walking through the compound probably brings back so many horrible memories, especially about his family. He talks about them throughout the documentary and that really shows how much he misses
He is one of the most famous survivors of the holocaust, he talks about the horrifying events they led through the holocaust. Elie wiesel's talks about how people should speak up and not just sit down and not say anything, and if you do sit down and don't speak with your chest then you should be guilty. “That I have tried to keep my memory alive, that I have tried to fight those who would forget. Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices”. Elie Wiesel, doesn't want to experience the holocaust or hear that it happens again so he explains about the horifly events to let people
A major theme in this novel is a boy’s loss of innocence in a world he thought was good, and loss of faith in a God he thought just.” This generalization was used to describe the book called “Night”. “Night” is a book written by Elie Wiesel. It tells a true story of a boy’s experience in the holo hast. The boy that went through the horrible experience was Elie Wiesel, the authors, himself.
Elie Wiesel does an outstanding job of making you feel the emotions that he himself (Eliezer) was experiencing. His faith remains strong throughout the beginning of the story but is slowly broken down time and time again. Every atrocity he witnessed during the Holocaust made him lose more faith and ask more questions. It is not until his final hours at Buchenwald that he utterly loses faith
A Lucky Man Who Survived The Reign Terrible, chaotic, sad, and devastating are only a few vague words to describe the Holocaust. During Adolf Hitler’s reign millions of Jews were victims, including Elie Wiesel. Even from his early years of life, Elie lived as a Jew at the time when only those of the Aryan race were accepted, however, these prejudices never defeated his spirit. When he lived at Auschwitz at the young age of fifteen, he was suicidal. His survival was nothing short of a miracle and his suffering eventually compelled him to try and change the world.
The History of Elie Wiesel Elie Wiesel, a man who survived the Holocaust, was very well known in modern history. His popular book, Night, was fond of many readers. After publishing that book, Elie Wiesel became famous. Wiesel was very important in world history because he educated everyone about the Holocaust, spreaded peace, and made history.
Elie Wiesel was very important person, Elie was a survivor of the Holocaust. He was one of the few that wanted to share the story, to let the world know what happened.

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.
He showed the readers a personal view of the Nazi's treatment to the prisoners. The hell Elie went through in the camps is something that he will never forget. In contrast the dehumanization the jews received was very harsh it was something that changed their lives forever. They lost their possession, family,morality and their identity. Because of the strength Elie had through this horrible experience he has gained a stronger
The documentary shared a lot of emotions that the survivor had built up and I could definitely feel how much pain he went through while he was there and how horrifying it must have been. One thing that the documentary had that the book did not have was how the people in the concentration camps survived instead of how people survived outside of the camps. In the book a lot of it was about Vladek and his family being on the run from he Germans and preventing themselves from ending up in a concentration camp but the documentary was all about a man who went to a camp immediately with his family and what horrible things that he had to witness while in

Have you ever gone through a tough time in life? Well imagine being put through torture and torment as a young child even though you did nothing to deserve it. Two young teenagers, Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel were both apart of a horrible event called the holocaust. They both went through different things such as Anne Frank hid mostly entire time during the holocaust while Elie actually had to live through the full experience. Anne and Elie are different because of these three reasons, Anne Frank hid most of the time from the natzi soldiers, Elie was imprisoned, and Anne ended up dying in the holocaust while Elie survived the harsh experience.
The horrendous acts committed during World War II still haunt people today. A lot of people did not realize the extent of the brutality that took place in concentration camps across the country until this film was released. The entire film is filled with 195 minutes of pure gut ranching brutal acts committed by Nazi armed men. The entire film is filled with true acts of violence showing the entire process of when a Jewish member of the community
