Inhumanity In Elie Wiesel's Night

Wiesel’s faith changes from being a strong believer in faith before the war to losing faith while during the war, he goes on to talk about him losing faith by saying “Some of the men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice.” (Pg.63). This quote goes on to demonstrate the loss of faith by Wiesel when being tortured by the Germans with the rest of the millions of Jews. Wiesel also loses faith when he says “Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes .”(Pg. 34) When Wiesel say this it implicates that his faith is being lost, and also he feels that his faith is basically being robbed from him by the German Nazis party. This fully show that he had lost faith but this shows what harshness and cruelty can do to a

Sighs of relief turn into screams of terror as innocent people are gasping for their last breaths of air inside of the gas chamber.

Some of the survivors have used their voice to speak out about their own background during their time spent in Auschwitz and other concentration camps.

Wiesel talks about his personal experience and shares his feelings, thoughts and emotions that he went through with others during the Holocaust.

Nobody in the town was well informed about the events occurring outside of Sighet, and as a result, nobody grew a strong fear towards the uprising Nazis. Wiesel was in denial of the actions of the Nazis until the entered the camps, where he soon began to deny the events that were occurring at the camps. He thought that life would continue as normal in the camps, even though he was subject to crude treatment and insufficient food. Soon, he would deny that anything safe would ever happen to him and his father. As Wiesel stated in the book, "How we would have liked to believe that. We pretended, for what if one of us still did believe?" (Page 46). Wiesel at first worried about the whereabouts of his mother and sisters, but soon he resorted to believing that they were already dead - he doubted that they would survive past the first day. As time went on, Wiesel began losing more and more of his sanity and doubted that he would eventually make it out of the camp alive. When veterans tried to tell their stories of survival, Wiesel stated, “‘Enough! Be quiet!’ I begged them. ‘Tell your stories tomorrow, or some

Night written by Elie Wiesel is a first-hand account of the mass genocide, discrimination, and segregation of Jews by Nazi Germany. It’s a powerful testament to what people can bring themselves to do when they refuse to see the humanity in others.

Crowds of workers came to observe and...“Soon, pieces of bread were falling into the wagons from all sides. And the spectators observed these emaciated creatures ready to kill for a crust of bread” (page 101). The spectators alienate them ‘they would kill over a simple piece of bread, what

This book has to do with Disbelief because while Wiesel is at the concentration camps he can’t believe he’s there. He went from being at home one day to being at the concentration camps the other day. Before everything happened Wiesel states, “ But people not only refused to believe his tales, they refused to listen” (Wiesel 7). This is major because they started not to believe Moish The Beadle. They noticed that Moish The Beadle started to change and they didn’t know if they could trust him. Furthermore, Another reason why there has been Disbelief in this book is because Wiesel can’t believe he’s seeing people get hurt and dying. Wiesel has also been through disbelief because he doesn’t want to be at the concentration camps while all these people are dying. While at the camps he says, “ I pinched myself : was I still alive? How was it possible that men, women, and children were being burned and that the world kept silent? No. All this could not be real” (Wiesel 32). Wiesel does not want to face the fact that he’s seeing all these bad things happening to innocent people. He can’t believe he’s at a place where there’s a lot of violence and cruelty. In conclusion, The reason why there has been so many disbelief in this book is because Wiesel does not want to believe everything that’s going on around him at the
