As I traveled to New York City, I encountered Elie Wiesel. We had a cup of coffee, as I interviewed him. I wanted to interview Mr. Wiesel, so I can expand my knowledge about the memoir, Night. Mr. Wiesel was the perfect person to interview, because he was the author of the memoir and he is still living, after surviving

The holocaust is one of the world's most tragic events, approximately 6 million Jews died and the concentration camp Auschwitz is the world's largest human cemetery, yet it has no graves. In Elie Wiesel's autobiographical memoir Night, he writes about his dehumanizing journey in the concentration camp, Auschwitz. Firstly, Elie experiences the loss of love and belonging when he is separated from his mother, sisters, and eventually his father. Also, the lack of respect that the Nazis showed the prisoners which lead to the men, including Elie to feel a sense of worthlessness in the camp. Finally, the lack of basic necessities in the camp leads to the men physically experiencing dehumanization. As a result, all these factors contribute to the

In 2006, Elie Wiesel published the memoir “Night,” which focuses on his terrifying experiences in the Nazi extermination camps during the World War ll. Elie, a sixteen-year-old Jewish boy, is projected as a dynamic character who experiences overpowering conflicts in his emotions. One of his greatest struggles is the sense helplessness that he feels when all the beliefs and rights, of an entire nation, are reduced to silence. Elie and the Jews are subjected daily to uninterrupted torture and dehumanization. During the time spent in the concentration camp, Elie is engulfed by an uninterrupted roar of pain and despair. Throughout this horrific experience, Elie’s soul perishes as he faces constant psychological abuse, inhuman living conditions, and brutal negation of his humanity.

At first glance, Night, by Eliezer Wiesel does not seem to be an example of deep or emotionally complex literature. It is a tiny book, one hundred pages at the most with a lot of dialogue and short choppy sentences. But in this memoir, Wiesel strings along the events that took him through the Holocaust until they form one of the most riveting, shocking, and grimly realistic tales ever told of history’s most famous horror story. In Night, Wiesel reveals the intense impact that concentration camps had on his life, not through grisly details but in correlation with his lost faith in God and the human conscience.

Many themes exist in Night, Elie Wiesel’s nightmarish story of his Holocaust experience. From normal life in a small town to physical abuse in concentration camps, Night chronicles the journey of Wiesel’s teenage years. Neither Wiesel nor any of the Jews in Sighet could have imagined the horrors that would befall them as their lived changed under the Nazi regime. The Jews all lived peaceful, civilized lives before German occupation. Eliezer Wiesel was concerned with mysticism and his father was “more involved with the welfare of others than with that of his own kin” (4). This would change in the coming weeks, as Jews are segregated, sent to camps, and both physically and emotionally abused. These changes and abuse would dehumanize

Elie Wiesel’s book “Night” shows the life of a father and son going through the concentration camp of World War II. Their life long journey begins from when they are taken from their home in Sighet, they experience harsh and inhuman conditions in the camps. These conditions cause Elie and his father’s relationship to change. During their time there, Elie and his father experience a reversal in roles.

In the memoir novel, Night, by Elie Wiesel, the theme of father-son relationships when survival is the only imperative is depicted through imagery,

The Holocaust is a horrific genocide that took the lives of 11 million people. In 1933, the Jewish population stood at over nine million. By 1945, the Germans had killed nearly 2 out of every 3 European Jews. One of the few survivors, Elie Wiesel, was able to create a memoir called “Night” about his trying times at the camps. In the story, a young jewish boy and his family get ripped from their home in Sighet and sent to horrendous concentration camps where most people's lives come to an end. During their time at the concentration camps, Elie, his father, and his fellow Jews are atrociously dehumanized by being starved, put through unrealistic amounts of physical activity, and having their identities revoked.

The torture from the Nazi army caused millions of deaths of the Jews. Elie Wiesel's “Night” book depicts how violence leads to death as shown through the narrator’s tone growing angrier and hopeless, the irony of Elie’s choices to either suffer until he dies or to kill himself, and how Elie loses his faith throughout the concentration camp In “Night”, readers will see how Wiesel’s tone becomes angrier as well as becoming more hopeless when he enters the concentration camps. For example, Elie thinks in his mind “For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name?

“[My Father’s] last word had been my name. He had called out to me and I had not answered” (Wiesel 75). In the book, Night by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel shares his experiences of the tragedy known as the Holocaust. His first-hand experiences of a current Jew at the following concentration camps, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buna, and Buchenwald, were both atrocious and eloquent. Father-Son relationships were disregarded because of the situations involving the Holocaust.

Every year, about fifty million people die. During the holocaust, over 16 million people were killed. That is almost half of the average amount of deaths that occur each year added to the total rate. The holocaust is responsible for the killing and damaging of many people such as Elie Wiesel. From a sheltered boy to a mentally scarred young-man, Elieser’s overall character drastically changed. In “Night” by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elieser, was transformed throughout the book by his experiences he had in the concentration camp located in Auschwitz.

In 1945, the world had taken on a whole new meaning; the genocide of six million Jew, by the German Nazi’s during the Second World War. The anti -Semitic leader of the Nazi group, Adolf Hitler, believed that the Jewish people were and inferior race, a threat to the German racial purity and community. In Elie Wiesel’s memoir, ‘Night’, it shows the brutality of what happened in the Holocaust, when Elie and his father were sent to the concentration camp, Auschwitz, located in Oswiecim, Poland. This memoir shows many lessons that can be used in today's generation, such as, it is easy to forget and forgive than to get revenge, every person has to fend for themselves, and that survival comes with a cost.

Throughout the course of history, time has been kind to some, and evil to others. To Elie Wiesel, time has been a ruthless machine that only caused hardship and sorrow. Elie Wiesel had to encounter arguably the most tragic event in history, the Holocaust, which took the life of his mother, father, and siblings, in addition to 6 million other Jews. Essentially, the Holocaust stemmed from Adolf Hitler gaining power of Germany in World War II, which allowed him to scapegoat the Jewish people for the German defeat in World War I. As a result, millions of Jews were put into concentration camps across Europe where they were separated from their families and their connection with God. But following his depiction of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel also describes his fictional account of the British Occupation of Palestine in which he shows the internal tragedies one must face with death. Evidently, as the story progresses, Wiesel’s resiliency grows stronger in which he is able to avenge the death of his compatriot, David Ben Moshe, by killing John Dawson. Ultimately, Elie Wiesel perfectly encapsulates the aspects of plot, conflicts, settings, characters, themes, and style throughout both Night and Dawn in which he shows that adversity is never to fear as there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
