Describe The Differences Between Hitler And Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel is one of the few to survive the Holocaust. At the age of 15, young Elie Wiesel and his family were deported to Auschwitz, where the lives of millions of Jews were taken. The years Elie spent at the camp, he witnessed many deaths and also the lives of innocent children being taken. These memories will forever stay with him as he expresses in the seven books he has written. The Holocaust had an environment that was crucial to live in and Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, wants the history of the Holocaust to live on because he doesn’t want anyone to live through the living hell he had to go through.

Elie experienced many changes, as a person while he was in Auschwitz. Before Elie was sent to Auschwitz, he was just a small naive child that new very little

During the Holocaust they counted that 6 million Jews died.The Jews faced many difficulties, death being the main one. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, he told his story of the difficulties he faced during the Holocaust. The Nazis were horrible to the Jews; they gave them little food, made them march many miles, worked them long hard hours, and when on the train they had little air. Because Elie Wiesel overcame his difficulties he faced during the Holocaust, I feel I can overcome my problems and live a wonderful life.

Elie was lucky to have lived through the death camps Auschwitz and Buna. Out of 11 million people 5 million were women and children and non-jews but 7 million were jews. Only about 70 people who were in Auschwitz came out alive.

In the book, our narrator, Elie, is constantly going through changes, and almost all of them are due to his time spent in Auschwitz. Prior to the horrors of Auschwitz, Elie was a very different boy, he had a more optimistic outlook on life. During the first few pages of the book, Elie tells us a bit about how he viewed the world before deportation, “ I was almost thirteen and deeply observant. By day I studied Talmud and by night I would run to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the temple.” ( 3). Elie was, as he says himself, deeply observant and devoted most of his time to his faith. He spent almost all of his time studying and worshiping. At this point, Elie’s faith is the center of his life. Elie is also shown to do a few other things and has a few more early character traits aside from being dedicated to what he believes in. Elie also sees the best of people, a few pages later he says, “The news is terrible,’ he said at last. And then one word: ‘transports’ The ghetto was to be liquidated entirely… ‘Where will they take us?” (Wiesel 14). This is one of the only time we hear about Elie being worried or scared because of the Germans before Auschwitz, and still, despite the warnings that were given and the rumors circulating, Elie doesn’t think that the Germans are actually going to do all of those terrible things. Around this time in the book, Wiesel starts to become more emotionally weighted, but none of what has happened takes full effect until much later. There are multiple instances in the book where Elie is given reason to distrust or even hate the Germans, he talks about how the Gestapo treated him and his family on page 19 “‘Faster! Faster! Move, you lazy good-for-nothings!’ the Hungarian police were screaming.”. Yet he then goes on to say, on that very same page, that “Still our first

Physically, Elie underwent several changes that left him different from what he had once been. Before the holocaust Elie was a young boy who ate meals regularly and had no need to worry about when he would be getting his next meal or how big it would be. The carefree state of mind that Elie was in did not last. When the holocaust was in full swing he would not

The Jews were the only ones who were persecuted during the holocaust. While Elie and his father were in the camp they were persecuted horrifically. When they first got to the (the first camps name) they stayed together everyday and every night. Elie was not going to let his father slip away that easy. Elie’s father did his best to take care of his son but it was very hard. Elie’s father would give him his rations. That is the kind of selfless love a father has for his son. Over the years Elie’s father began to grow weaker and it was an even more difficult time. One time Elie and his father had to lie about their age just so they could live and stay together. If the Jews did not do as they were told they were hit and sometimes even put in the cremation house. The Nazis did not have any sympathy towards the Jews and thats how Hitler liked it. Another type of propaganda used is fear. The Jews feared the Nazis every single day of their lives at the camps. All the Jews did not know when their day was coming, but knew it was coming soon. If some of the Jews were to old to work they were killed and so everyone tried to work as hard as they could no matter what age they were or how they felt. The nazis worked the Jews like dogs day in and day out. Elie feared not only for his life but also for his dads. Elie stuck with his dad till the end and it was well worth

The Holocaust was a time of great suffering and hopelessness for Jewish people. About two thirds of the entire Jewish population was brutally killed. One third of all Jews persevered and survived the appalling events happening in and out of the concentration camps. One boy, out of that one third that survived and pushed through was Elie Wiesel. Elie Wiesel, the holocaust survivor, displays stamina in his memoir physically, mentally, and spiritually.

The Holocaust, a terrible time with a terrible person. Hitler was a horrible person, killing many Jewish people and families. Roughly 6 million people died in the years of Hitler’s rule. Although many people died ,many people survived the tragedy. Eliezer Wiesel was one of few that survived the Holocaust. If the Holocaust wouldn't had happened we wouldn’t be where we are today. We would see more segregations of everything.

Throughout the duration of the Holocaust, many Jews witnessed the worst of humanity. In concentration camps, over six million people were killed and tortured. Among the people imprisoned in these camps was Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor. In his memoir Night, the many acts of dehumanization and cruelty that Wiesel witnesses ultimately leads to his loss of faith in both his god and humanity.

Elie Wiesel was a survivor of the Holocaust. Wiesel was from Sighet. He tells about his journey through the book. Wiesel also talks and gives details of his experiences, when he was in the concentration camps. This book gives many examples of some political issues during this tragic time.

Before Elie went to Auschwitz, he exhibited many positive character traits. (Such as Compassion, Depressed, and Friendly. An example of compassion that Elie showed before was on page 5 that said, “And Moishe the Beadle, the poorest of the poor of Sighet, spoke to me for hours on end about the Kabbalah’s revelations and its mysteries. Thus began my initiation. Together we would read, over and over against, the same page of the Zohar. Not to learn it by heart but to discover within the very essence of divinity”(Wiesel). How he shows compassion is, Elie treats a man of lower social status with kindness, and the man repays him with studies of the Zohar. So a random act of kindness, could pay off someday, you never know. The next example of how Elie showed traits before Auschwitz was depression on page 10, “The Bible commands us to rejoice during the eight days of Passover, but our hearts were not in it. We wished the holiday would end so as not to have to pretend”(Wiesel 10). Elie was so depressed and scared, that

Six million jews. Six million innocent men, women and children. Emerging from the ashes and corpses, one man had the intention of preserving this tragedy, yet at the same time preventing it. Elie Wiesel’s fulfilled his purpose of showing the heinous crimes of the Holocaust through the change of characterization of Elie before, during and after the events of Wiesel 's 1940 memoir-Night. The Holocaust is remembered as a stain on history, where a massive genocide occurred. but we must also recognize the souls and personalities that were killed and burned. Wiesel trembling hands picked up these ashes, personifying their ebony remains into a young child-Elie.

The Holocaust was a very terrible time in history over six million Jews perished in concentration camps. Even though in every tragedy there are survivors. Elie Wiesel was a little boy when all of this happened. He experienced all of the terrible things that happened during this time frame. While suffering in the terrible condition of the camp Elie and his father’s relationship goes through a drastic change.

Before Elie went to the concentration camps, he had many good character traits such as loyalty, Religious, and Impatient. For Example, on page 33, it says “If that is true then I don’t want to wait. I’ll run into the electrified barbed wire. That would be easier than a slow death in the flames” (Wiesel). During this part of the book, Elie and his dad had just arrived at Auschwitz and were being put in a line that was leading to death. Nevertheless, this shows that he is being impatient because he was facing death head on and knew that he might die so he was choosing a quick death rather than burning and slowly dying. Another trait Elie showed before the concentration camp was loyalty. For instance, on page 36, Elie stated “Please sir I’d like to be by my father” (Wiesel). In this part of the book Elie and his family were being separated at the camp and Elie lied about his age so he could stay with his dad. In contrast Elie showed loyalty to his dad by not going with his mom and sister and staying with his dad. This was a very big decision by Elie because he chose the hard way by staying with his dad even if that meant death.
