Elie Wiesel And Oskar Schindler And Schindler's List

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.

Imagine you were forced to leave your home, family, and friends, then you have to undergo terrible traveling, working in unbearable conditions, and never having a full meal to eat. Well for Yanek and Elie that was every day of their life after they were taken for the Holocaust. They both survived by keeping their faith and taking advantage of any good opportunities. Yanek and Elie have many similarities and some differences when it comes to their experience in the Holocaust such as the family they had there with them, the death marches, and how the cattle cars are for the both of them.

The first way that Georges Andre Kohn’s life compares to Elie Weisel’s is in their age. Both victims were in their teenage years during the war. Georges Andre Kohn was 12 when he died, and Elie Wiesel was 15 during the events of the Holocaust. The second and the biggest similarities between

Joe Rantz and Elie Wiesel are both people that had many similarities. Joe Rantz was a man that wanted to compete in the olympics but had to have faith in the people he was going to row with. Elie Wiesel was stuck in Auschwitz. He also had to have faith. He had to believe in himself and have to have faith in god. Another similarity Joe and Elie have is that both of them lost their families which is a tragedy that they both must overcome.

There have been tons of events recorded over the years, but nothing has ever reached the scale of the Holocaust. During the events of the Holocaust, the most deadly time in recorded history, many people, specifically people that practiced the Jewish religion, went into work camps and never came out. In the award winning novel entitled “Night” by Elie Wiesel, the main character and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Elie, changes from before his stay in the most infamous camp, Auschwitz, and after he got out alive.

The emotional connection Wiesel has to the injustice and inhumane acts from other people being a survivor from the Holocaust

Before Elie went to the Concentration camp, he had many good character traits. On page 31 - 32 Wiesel states, “The wind of revolt died down. We continued to walk until we came to a crossroads. Standing in the middle of it was, though I didn't know it then, Dr. Mengele, the notorious Dr. Mengele. He looked like the typical SS officer: a cruel, though not unintelligent, face, complete with monocle. He was holding a conductor's baton and was surrounded by officers. The baton was moving constantly, sometimes to the right, sometimes to the left”… “This conversation lasted no more than a few seconds. It seemed like an eternity.” In this part of the book Elie had just gotten to the camp and is getting sorted by the angel of death. This part of the text showed that Elie was brave because Elie had just talked to a man who had killed hundreds of people, and he never said he was scared or acted like he was frightened. Another trait he had before he changed was that he was hard working. One example of that trait is on page 50, “Sitting on the ground, we counted bolts, bulbs, and various small electrical parts.” In this part of the book after they got

Elie showed me how cruel they were to the Jews even when seeing that most of them were very hurt. They even burned innocent children for just being Jewish. The Germans treated these horrible acts as if they were just everyday chores they had to do, like feed the dog or clean the house. Most of the Germans just ignored the Jewish people's emotions. Ultimately, the jews were oppressed in many ways and dehumanized to the point where they even hated themselves. Which in the end helped Hitler change the views of Jewish people to the German

Schindler, a self centered man sacrifices almost nothing whereas Elie, a Jew in a concentration camp with his father made many sacrifices. Such as giving his rations to his father, and tried to teach him how to march even though it made him stand out and get made fun of. Even though Schindler didn’t sacrifice much, he gave up all his money to save thousands of Jews. Both Schindler and Elie made comparable sacrifices and

The Holocaust was a terrible, dark time in the 1900s (1933-1945). Many Jewish families were broken up and killed. Elie Wiesel is one of the many who was saved from dying of starvation. Elie created stories based on his experience in the Auschwitz concentration camp. He used persistence while in these camps by not losing the will to live. Elie inspired many people to live life to the fullest, (he didn’t get to live the perfect life he probably imagined when he was little) even if you come across problems.

World War II was fought from 1939 to 1945 between the Axis powers — Germany, Italy, and Japan — and the Allies, involving France and Britain, and later the Soviet Union and the United States. The Holocaust is generally thought of the name of the period within World War II, where Hitter and the Nazi party committed the genocide of roughly 6 million Jewish people. Jewish people were not the only victims of the holocaust, as others include the mass murder of groups such as Romani gypsies, homosexuals, Soviet Prisoners of War, blacks, and more, and some numbers suggest that between 10 and 11 million civilians and POWs were murdered during this time period. It's significant to understand that the genocide of Jews and others during

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.

many times during the book it talks about Wiesel’s problems. Elie’s first problem would be when he was in Buna, a concentration camp. This was a problem for Wiesel because he didn't have food, water, and at sometimes air. In the book Elie says “ At ten o’clock we were given our daily ration of bread” (Wiesel 34 ). This quote shows how that they only got bread once a day from their SS Officers, and that they didn't have food. Another problem Wiesel had is the loss of family. Elie got taken away from his mom and sister when they were deported on the train but got to stay with his father. Elie says “ I certainly do. But on one condition: I want to stay with my father” (Wiesel 35). With Elie being taken away from his mom and sister, he wanted to stay with his father through the whole thing. Wiesel’s father was his strength to stay alive. Elie had tough adversities he had to go through in his life and he was strong and overcame them.

At the age of 15, Elie Wiesel and his family were sent to Auschwitz as a part of the Holocaust. He was sent to many labor camps with his father where they were forced to work under inhumane conditions. However, his mother and younger sister were killed upon entering the camps. Wiesel recalled, “I didn’t know that this was the moment in the time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever.” (Wiesel, 29) After this, Wiesel and his father witnessed many atrocities. One of the first horrible sights Elie shared in his story was where he saw babies being

Wiesel’s inclusion of this quote shows readers that he was appalled by the inhuman prisoners and concentration camp leaders. One of the reasons for Wiesel becoming so traumatized by the evils of humanity is his prior belief that people would help each other in times of need. Halperin writes, “Before coming to Auschwitz, Eliezer had believed that twentieth-century man was civilized. He had supposed that people would try to help one another in difficult times; certainly his father and teachers had taught him that every Jew is responsible for all other Jews” (Halperin 33). Convinced that people were kind and that Jews would help one another, Wiesel was greatly disappointed after coming to a tragic realization in the concentration camps. Wiesel was robbed, pushed, beaten, and betrayed by his fellow Jews at the camps. Contrary to his prior belief that Jews should be working together, the other Jews invested in themselves. They cared, solely, about their own well being. In including the evils of the other prisoners, Wiesel is able to show readers that due to the lack of innocence within the concentration camps, it was inevitable for him to lose his
