Theme Of The Holocaust In Elie Wiesel's Night

In a span of 10 years, the Holocaust killed over 7 million people, that’s just as much as the population of Hong Kong. In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel shares his experience on how he survived the Holocaust and what he went through. How he dealt with the horrors and even to how he felt of his dad’s death and how he saw himself after it was all over. As he tried to publish it he was constantly turned down due to the fact of how horrid and truful it was. He still tried and tried until it was finally published.

I feel like this is an important quote because this shows a factual referance to the holocaust, but it is used to spread emotions throughout the person looking at the bodies, this would express feelings and emotions throughout the viewer, but still being factual. Another quote that expresses objectivity is: “Stark brick and steel halls echo the look of the barracks and gas chambers of Nazi concentration camps.” This quote is very important evidence of objectivity in this article because, there is strong diction, though strong diction is sometimes used to express subjective ideas, but the description in this quote gives thought of a scarry or uneasy place. It gives a fearful and upset tone towards the article. This could be argued to be subjective, but since this could be

The delusion of harmony only exists in unconsciousness. There is no such thing. People fall for delusions because delusions give people hope, enough hope to survive through undiluted evil. The sweet seduction of a delusion created a false sense of hope for many Jewish families who suffered through the Holocaust. These delusions ultimately lead to the demise of many Jewish lives.

Elie Wiesel went through a lot as a holocaust survivor. Because he had to suffer in concentration camps, I think he should be one to know a lot about the perils of indifference. Elie Wiesel’s book Night, released in 1958 and his magnificent speech, The Perils of Indifference from 1999 both share and try to convince the audience about his main message, which is that indifference is dangerous. In his speech, he explains how indifference about others is much easier than caring about them, and so much easier to look away from victims. His book Night is a haunting tale about the horrors Jewish people experienced during World War II.

It was important to note that if he was not truly regret about his fault, he would not find someone who might hate him so much according to his identity as a Nazi soldier to confess his sin when he was dying. If he did not feel sorry about what he did, found someone to confess his sin was absolutely unnecessary. According to The sunflower, there were some specific examples to show Karl’s repentance. For example, he said “I cannot die ... Without coming clean” (Wiesenthal 53).

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, he uses repetition and rhetorical questions to show the reader how horrible of a time the Holocaust was. Repetition was used throughout the book consistently, but the read really sees it when Wiesel explains the first night at Auschwitz. All the horrible things he encountered and hatred he saw that first night was shown to the reader in a meaningful. “Never shall I forget” was used seven times, but one of them really stuck out to the reader. Wiesel explains the how “Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky” (Wiesel 34).

It is extremely important to prosecute the criminals as a way of remembering the Holocaust victims and knowing what they went through. “Everywhere in the world, there is an obscene attempt by people who call themselves historians who dare to deny the deaths of the victims. Who dares to tell me my parents were not killed in the camps” (Wiesel 6). This shows that many people disbelieve in the Holocaust; therefore they are forgetting the horrendous things done to the victims. It is very important to remember the tragedy that the Holocaust caused in order for it to not happen again.

Marked by the dehumanizing and horrific genocide of the Jewish people, the Holocaust was a significant conflict that fueled the militant period of the twentieth century. As the spearhead of the Nazi Party of Germany from 1934 to 1945, Adolf Hitler sponsored the brutal persecution and genocide of around six million Jewish individuals, along with many other casualties. Subjugated to the tyranny of the concentration and labor camps where they were stripped of their identity and liberty, the individuals that survived the Holocaust will carry the burden of their traumatic memories through their lifetime. In his memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel explores his harrowing experiences imprisoned in multiple concentration camps as a teenager during the Holocaust.

He writes of the oversimplification of survivors’ experiences and the romanisation of liberation. The Holocaust is reduced to something historically accepted, which does not convey the meaning of the loss experienced. This is an extremely important reminder for historians as well as society as a whole. In its analytical approach, The Drowned and the Saved impresses upon readers the importance the atrocities committed during the Holocaust; these crimes have to have meaning. Historians must learn not to reduce and simplify events, to try their best to create a deep and complete understanding of

The title Night is especially important to the message Elie leaves with the reader. Elie Wiesel titles his book Night because night is significant to Elie’s experiences during the Holocaust because night symbolizes the darkening of souls and the loss in faith in others during this dark time period. It is also used as a passage of time to mark the most important and life changing moments in Elie’s life. One of the reasons Elie Wiesel chose to title his book Night is because the darkness of night represents the darkening of the souls and identities of many prisoners during the Holocaust. For example, after Elie’s first night in the concentration camp, he says, “The night was gone.
