A Very Brief Summary Of Daniel's Story

When dealing with Non-Fiction and Memoir it is imperative to realize that no two authors will approach telling their story in the same manner. Elie Weisel and Charlotte Delbo, two survivors of Auschwitz, both chose to write their Memoir as testimonials of their experiences. Despite sharing a method of testimonial and similar experiences in their stories, the two finished pieces are nearly entirely different. This paper will focus on Elie Weisel’s method of reporting his experiences to the reader, as opposed to a brief discussion on Delbo who tends to reflect. The scene of focus in the comparison and contrast will be the arrival scene as the authors enter into Auschwitz. This is a universal scene that would have been similar for everyone that entered into the camp, so it is what I call a unique shared experience, as everyone’s experiences will of course vary. But, aside from being a common experience it is also a common primary reflective moment that both authors spend quite a bit of time discussing.

The main theme of this story was to show the miraculous and courageous struggle of one loving and devoted family, who put their own lives at stake to protect the lives of many others. Every night, before they were placed in the concentration camp, the tiny family of three read a scripture from the Bible. While in the “hell”, they prayed that God would forgive the retched and brutal souls of the Nazi guards who beat and killed many people. They put their Christian beliefs above all else. It was more important to them that they gave up their lives to rescue others because it was the Christian thing to do

The Holocaust was a brutal event in World War Two and millions of people were killed. Although this occurrence was brutal, beautiful things happened too. Beauty and brutality co-existed throughout the the Holocaust and changed people's lives. Markus Zusak used imagery to represent beauty and brutality co-existing in “The Book Thief” throughout the lives of Liesel, Hans, and Death.

These teens have similar and different traits. Each of them lived together and became closer. They also had a different thing to study and learn about.

"It was crying and praying. So long we survived. And now we waited only that they shoot, because we had not else to do" (267). This quote from the end of the novel ironically describes what the Jewish people endured after the concentration camps. Vladek Spieglman among other suffered through traumatic experiences; though Vladek certainly did survive the holocaust, old Vladek did not. Post-Holocaust it is revealed by Spieglman that his father, Vladek, develops two personalities—before and after the concentration camps. Vladek’s post-holocaust life was haunted by the horrors he witnessed while being in the concentration camps; he went from a young, handsome resourceful man to a miserable, old man who does nothing but complain.

The Holocaust was a time of great suffering and inhumanity. The novel Night, which took place during this time, was written by Elie Wiesel and talks about his teen self-experiencing the concentration camps of Auschwitz. This is related to the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas which is the story of a young German boy named Bruno who befriends a Jewish boy in a concentration camp. The many similarities and differences between the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and the novel Night include their many themes of “inhumanity” and “guilt and inaction”, and the two also share and differ in the loss of innocence of the characters and how they develop in each medium.

Have you ever read any books about a event in life that changed a certain part of the world. The Holocaust was a important event in life,and Daniel’s story was a book that explained someone's life during the Holocaust. I think this book should be used in 6th grade and up. If kids read Daniel’s story now,they would have a better understanding of what happened in the past.Maybe if I tell you some of the horrible things that happened that kids should know now, maybe you would want your kids reading Daniel’s story by Carol Matas to learn from the past.

There are many tragic events that have happened in history and one of them is The Holocaust. The book Night written by Elie Wiesel is based on him, a Holocaust survivor, and his experience in the concentration camps. There is also an article titled “Wiesel Offers Students First-Hand Account of Holocaust” by Louis Sahagun that is about Elie Wiesel speaking to students on his involvement with The Holocaust. The film Life is Beautiful is based on The Holocaust as well. It tells the story of a family in the concentration camps. The book Night, the article “Wiesel Offers Students First-Hand Account of Holocaust”, and the film Life is Beautiful share a common message of how families were affected during The Holocaust.

Night by Elie Wiesel describes the strenuous life of victims of Hitler’s genocidal actions in the Holocaust from the perspective of a teenage boy during this time. Throughout his journey, Wiesel describes the hardships of the physical journeys executed during the Holocaust. These physical journeys taken upon by the victims depict an ample role in the book. In Night, the physical journey during the death march plays a critical role in the book because it emphasizes the need for willpower throughout the book.

The Holocaust appeared to be a time of darkness and it seemed like on Earth and in heaven, each doorway of humanity, empathy, and kindness had been closed down. Those who did not encounter the Holocaust cannot begin to comprehend what it was like, however, those who did cannot begin to express it. Torture, genocide, and cruel acts started to fill brains and souls. The Holocaust was an event where millions of people were being murdered during World War II. The memoir, Night by Elie Wiesel is based on Wiesel’s experiences in concentration camps, in order to give readers an insight of someone who was a victim of the Holocaust. The young narrator, Elie Wiesel, faces countless struggles for survival among the horrors of the Holocaust. In the memoir, Eliezer, the passionately, devoted boy with a benevolent family, is taken from his home and sent to a concentration camp. Through their unstable and dangerous journey, Elie is detached from his mother and sisters but lingers on with his father, only to be relocated from camp to camp. Elie mentions the death of numerous family members, the death of his own identity and innocence, to an extent in which living or dying did not matter anymore. In Night, Wiesel reveals that the exposure to an unsympathetic, bitter world generates to the destruction of the three main themes throughout the memoir which are; religious faith, identity, and family.

In 1944, a twelve –year-old Elie Wiesel, in the village of Sighet, spends a lot of time thinking about the Jewish faith. He has an instructor named Moshe the Beadle, he returned from a near death experience, and warns people in the village that Nazis will soon come to their village and mess up the peace in the village. No one listens and soon people under Hitler’s rule force the Jews of the town and into supervised ghettos. Though Elie’s family remains calm, in the spring they are shipped into the final convoy to the Auschwitz and Birkenau death and concentration camps. Eighty some villagers on this convoy have to survive with little food and water. The prisoners were sorted out to see who could work for the Nazi’s and who would be killed.

Half the inmates died due to starvation and lack of nutrition. They were only given a very small ration of soup and a piece of bread. As he was trying to survive in the concentration camps; his greatest fear was not to lose his father through his harsh times and challenges while in the camp.

Eliezer and his family were forced out of their ghetto onto the streets and were forced to walk many miles to Auschwitz. The family gets split up except for Eliezer and his father. In the attempt to survive in the concentration camps, he tells the gruesome stories of the torture they had to go through. Dehumanization occurs in Night, in three instances that helped Hitler control Jews.

Elie Wiesel was a normal, young kid who lived in Hungry. The only problem was that he was Jewish and the Nazi’s were coming. Elie and his family were together in a ghetto inside their hometown. Elie and his family thought that this would be the worst of their problems, but it wasn’t. Elie and his family survived the ghetto. After Elie and his family spent time in the ghetto they got news that they would be heading somewhere else. They got news that they were going, no one knew where but they would soon find out it wasn’t like the ghetto. They soon arrived in a camp called Birkenau, this was used as a stopping point and most of the people there would go to Auschwitz. On the first day Elie and his father were together and his mom and sister were on another. This was the last time Elie saw his mom and sister. Elie and his father sticted together for as long as they could and they did whatever they could to be together. Later on his father died because of the abuse and he just couldn’t go on.
