In life, people go through different changes when put through difficult experiences. In the book Night, Elie Wiesel is a young Jewish boy whose family is sent to a concentration camp by Nazis.

Elie and his father were distant before the Holocaust. Elie and his dad didn't talk to each other and weren't very close.

Indifference. Noun meaning lack of interest, concern, or sympathy. Not important. Lacking feeling. That is indifference. To use that word to describe the theme of Night, is to describe life. Many lives actually. I do believe many people had a lack of interest in the holocaust, just because “at least it’s them and not us.” Some express sympathy to the lives lost, but all that matters is that we stopped it when we did right? Wrong. To this day, some think the holocaust was played out to be worse than it actually was, for the sake of drama and publicity.

Elie's father was not just a wise leader to him and his family, but to the community as well. In Auschwitz, he had many prisoners come to him and gave advice to Elie.

As a result to this stress, once they reached Buchenwald, his father was pushed to the limit of his emotional limitation.
