Concentration camps are similar to the things people see their nightmares. The creation of a twisted government that spread hatred and suffering throughout the world. Night is an in depth account of the atrocities committed in these horrible places. The story of dehumanization of an entire group of people through the eyes of a young boy,Elie Wiesel.

Imagine, losing the part of you that makes you unique, or being treated like you were worth absolutely nothing. Think about losing all that you hold on to: your family, friends, everything that you had. Imagine, being treated like an animal, or barely receiving enough food to live. All of these situations and more is what the Jews went through during the Holocaust. During the period of 1944 - 1945, a man by the name of Elie Wiesel was one of the millions of Jews that were experiencing the wrath of Hitler’s destruction in the form of intense labor and starvation. The novel Night written by the same man, Elie Wiesel, highlights the constant struggle they faced every single day during the war. From the first acts of throwing the Jews into

In “night” we see how the Jewish people are being oppressed and dehumanized in so many ways. One example is “I became A-7713. From now on, I had no other name” (PG.42). This quote shows how they were stripped of their identities and replaced it with a simple number. As if they were just a number on a sheet of paper. We see in the book how the Nazis only see the Jewish people as numbers and had no knowledge of their actual lives or their identities. They are also given such little amounts of food,

The Holocaust is the world’s most dehumanizing incident that occurred from the years 1933 to 1945. It was a racial injustice in which Jews, along with people seen as inferior, were persecuted by the German Nazi’s. Author Elie Wiesel and director Steven Spielberg both do excellent jobs at educating an audience of the horrors people experienced during this time. In Wiesel’s novel Night, the Holocaust is shown from a Jewish boy’s perspective as Elie struggles to survive the torment of several concentration camps. Steven Spielberg’s film Schindler’s List shows the Holocaust from a German Nazi’s perspective, as Oscar Schindler faces an internal struggle while attempting to protect several Jews. The stories share numerous similarities along with differences, however, when it comes down to which is a better representation of the Holocaust, Night will come out on top due to Wiesel’s first hand experiences inside the camps.

Life can be very beautiful. In contrast, life for many people during World War 2 was not so beautiful. During this time, the world was at war. Gladly, during all the madness, in 1945 innocent people broke free, and concentration camps were liberated. The film Life is Beautiful, Guido demonstrated the three qualities; Inherent thoughtfulness and emotionality, expressive coherence, and wholeness and unity.

The book, Night, by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, provides an overview of Elie’s experiences during the Holocaust, and there were a multitude of ways that Elie and his inmates were dehumanized. It all started in 1944, when Elie and his family were deported from their home in Sighet and taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp. When they arrived, they had to leave their possessions on the train and went into the concentration camp where all of his family except his father were murdered. Elie and his father were dehumanized even more by looking just like

When people look at two extremely different stories such as Night and Life is Beautiful, they would not expect there to be many similarities. However, these two devastating tales are more alike than suspected. Both Night and Life is Beautiful may be two accounts of the holocaust, but that does not mean that they bring the same thing to the table. They both may include a somewhat similar father-son relationship, yet they still aren’t that same. Night, a tragic memoir of Eliezer Wiesel, and Life is Beautiful, a humorous and still somewhat depressing movie of Guido and his family, have numerous similarities as well as drastic differences between them.

In Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie gives us insight on his three-year long journey as a prisoner of the holocaust. He informs his readers that the Jewish community had to withstand the dehumanization brought upon by depraved Germans, deprived Jews, and the war inside of themselves. Elie relays his experiences, focusing on the dehumanization the Jewish population suffered from the Nazis through cruel punishments, and harsh epithets.

His mother and his sisters didn’t pass the selection. Therefore, he and his father would never see them again. Eliezer, his father, and other Jews were relocated from camp to camp. They were beaten

In Night, Elie Wiesel presents the harsh, cruel world that surrounds humanity and which is often times not thought to be evil. Night makes us realize nighttime is no longer a time of peace but is filled with fear and nightmares that can not be removed. Every Night in Auschwitz and Birkenau, death lingered in the air as well as memories of family and friends. Taken away in a small compact cattle car during Passover, the Wiesels and other Jews had no idea what awaited. No one realized they were headed towards their death. Elie like others lost most of his family and dreams except for his father and his faith in God. Though the Holocaust brought so much agony, it also brought some realization of what really mattered in life and what people need to hold on to. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses diction, symbolism, and imagery to show the challenges faced between God and his follower.

In both the book, Night by Elie Wiesel, and the movie “Life is beautiful” the plot follows a father, and son going through the holocaust together and share similar aspects throughout.
