Deborah Dimelu Period 8 Mrs. Benliza-Ray “Night” The book Night was written by Eliezer Wiesel. This was a time when Jews suffered from the handy work of Adolf Hitler. Elie Wiesel with other many prisoners lost their faith in God and in Man throughout the book, “Where is merciful God, where is he? Someone behind me was asking.” During his experience in the concentration camp Elie Wiesel loses faith in his fellow man and in God.He shows this through his thoughts and his actions. Elie Wiesel loses faith in man through the actions of the Nazis and when he first arrived at Auschwitz.Elie and his father both were told
Elie Wiesel, the author of Night, was born in a town of Sighet, Transylvania, which is now known as Romania, in the year 1928 of September 30th. Elizer had three sisters and was pursuing Jewish religious studies at a nearby yeshiva, before failing to flee the country for safety from the Nazi Germany Soldiers. At the age of 15, he, along with his family and the entire Jewish population, were expelled from their hometowns and were forced to relocate to concentration camps. Due to this outcome, Elie and his father were separated from his mother and sister and was deported to a concentration camp in Auschwitz in 1944. They were later transferred to a “very good camp,” called Buna in Buchenwald.
The book, Night, by Elie Wiesel is a memoir about the dreadful Holocaust in which Wiesel survived. The Wiesel family consisted of Elie, his two older sisters, Hilda and Bea, and younger sister, Tzipora, and parents. The family lived in the town of Sighet, Transylvania before they were shipped off to war but were then relocated to a ghetto at the beginning of the Holocaust. Elie met Moshe the Beadle in 1941 when he was about thirteen years old. Moshe the Beadle was a shtibl who was transported to one of the camps before some of the other Jews and was shot and pretended to be dead so that he could escape and return home to warn the other Jews about such occurrences but they would not listen to him.
The book Night is a very descriptive book about the holocaust and the man who wrote the book Elie Wiesel has showed the cruelty that people can be but also shows how people still resist to what was happening to them not a mass of people but enough for him to notice. “A violin in a dark barrack where the dead were piled on top of the living? Who was this madman who played the violin here, at the edge of his own grave?” (Wiesel 95). The person who played the violin was a kid around the same age as Elie named Juliek.
The book I chose to read was Night by Elie Wiesel. It is an autobiography. Elie Wiesel is a Jewish American who went through the Nazi Concentration Camps during the Holocaust. He is an author, professor and an activist. He was born on September 30th, 1928 in Sighet, Transylvania.
Many people are unaware about the Holocaust and its tragedies. Many don’t think about the concentration camps and the horrors inside of them. Night is a memoir written by Elie Wiesel. The memoir tells of his experiences and life inside of the concentration camps during the Holocaust and how survived the horrific place known as Auschwitz. Elie Wiesel named his first book Night as the times written about in the book were some of the darkest times in his life because of the way he was treated, the suffering he went through, and because of his father’s death.
Elie Wiesel is a fifteen year old boy who believes in God. Elie Wiesel then gets taken to the Holocaust of 1941-1945. As he goes going through the Holocaust Elie Wiesel is losing everything he's ever known. Elie Wiesel loses his faith in God, and turns from a boy to a man. All he can do is try to survive as long as he can, doing anything he can.
The book I read was Night written by Elie Wiesel this book takes place at Nazi concentration camps called Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel's main reason in writing Night was to show the world what he expierenced and to show what destruction mankind can do to each other. I also believe Wiesel wrote Night to prevent the horrific things that happened during the Holocaust to happen again. Another reason I think Wiesel wrote Night was to remember all the people that died at the hands of the Nazis so they can not be forgotten. When I first read Night my first thought was disbelief because I could not believe how much pain was inflicted on the Jews during the Holocaust and how Elie survived the Nazi concentration camps to
In the book “night,” by Elie Wiesel,shows his experiences and memories during the holocaust from 1941-1945. The holocaust was a time when hitler ordered that all jews to be wiped out completely. Hitler said this “Wir müssen uns von den dreckigen europäischen Juden aus unserer großen Nation befreien, um es zu dem zu machen, was es für uns ist.” What do you think this saying says? First,let's talk about who Elie Wiesel is.
In the years of the holocaust millions of people died. Including those of war prisoners and Jewish citizens. Several concentration camps were to blame because of this. Even though most did not live to the liberation there were a few lucky ones who survived and lived to tell about their experiences. Elie Wiesel spent his childhood in Auschwitz concentration camp, surrounded by death and misery, but managed to keep his head up and persevere through it.
The holocaust was one of, if not the, worst events in history, German soldiers killed six million Jewish men, women, and children, and even more were put into concentration camps. Elie Wiesel wrote a book about the time he served in concentration camps called Night. (simple) During his time in the camps he suffered many tragedies including losing his entire family. He was beaten, tested over and over for many months, and he was filled with trepidation, yet he kept going through it all.
The world, hate, and religion. How the Holocaust brings this altogether. Like a child we trust and believe in what we are told. We are excited to learn more. In this book called Night Elie Wiesel was excited to learn more about his religion and the study of Kubbalah.
What a Time to be Alive “To forget a Holocaust is to kill twice”(Elie Wiesel). The book “Night” was published on 1956 and it was written by Elie Wiesel. This book was about a boy’s experience in the Holocaust. Throughout “Night” there are three moments that are incredibly powerful to focus on and understand to fully grasp the importance of this holocaust memoir. They show the reader how Moshe the Beadle told the news to the public, Also how the woman was yelling fire over and over, And how Elie’s dad died a few months before he got saved.
Have you ever woken up not knowing if you will live to wake up again? Elie Wiesel suffered many afflictions during his time held captive in German concentration camps, from being dehumanized to starved, his experiences changed his entire life. His autobiography, Night, portrays his horrific struggles during World War II. Elie Wiesel certainly deserves his biography; out of the millions who were sent to these terrible death camps, he not only survived, but went on to inspire millions as an author, philosopher, and public speaker. Elie was a religious fifteen year old boy living in Sighet, but when his town was overtaken by the Germans, his life turned upside down.
Due to to the atrocities witnessed and experienced during the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel, a once deeply religious individual, loses his faith in God, himself, and mankind. “For the first time, I felt anger rising in me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for.”
The Holocaust is the biggest, most well known, genocide known to humankind. Many know about this atrocity, but only those that experienced it first hand can truly understand the true horrors that occurred. Elie Wiesel was one of those unfortunate souls. He was able to tell about his experiences so that the world would be able to see the true pain the jewish people had endured. Elie decided it was his duty to share his experience with the world and he chose to write a book about it.
