​ Terrible. Depressing. Horrific. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel many terrible things happened. This book was written about the horrific events that took place during the holocaust. In the beginning of the book a Jewish boy named Elie was separated from his family as they entered a concentration camp, Elie was kept with his father but his mother and sisters were taken away.

― Primo Levi Elie Wiesel is the author of the book” Night”. The book night is about a boy Eli and how he survived the fought times in a concentration camp during the holocaust. He had many rough patches the year and a half he was there, but in the end he made it out alive. In the book “night” by Elie Wiesel , the main character,Elie, is affected by the events in the book, because he became immune to death, lost his religion and he was detached from his sympathy.

Elie Wiesel, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and one of the most famous and celebrated Holocaust survivor’s, Night is a memoir about life inside the camps of the Holocaust. Where the Nazis killed six million Jews, and five million Gentiles. He endured many transformations while in the concentration camps; the two essential changes are his relationship with his father and spiritually with God.

Elie Wiesel, the author and main character of Night, went to two concentration camps and had different experiences at each one. The three concentration camps he went to were Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Birkenau. In Maus, Artie's mom (Anja) and dad (Vladek) went to concentration camps too. Like Ellie, they went to Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps, but they also went to Dachau. Ellie's life in the concentration camp was like Vladek's life in the concentration camp.

During the Holocaust over 11 million people had died. While reading Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night you get a true insight on the horrific acts that were portrayed during the holocaust. Throughout the memoir there were several events that showed pure inhumanity and cruelty towards other human beings.

The suffering started getting unbearable, to the point that they’d rather lie down and possibly not wake up, then to keep going. When the Russians started attacking the camp to save the Jews, the Jews were forced, by the Germans, to go on a long walk to Gleiwits. When they arrived in Gleiwits, the father started dying and starvation and aching started setting in. They ended up getting on a train to Buchenwald but the father ended up dying on the train. So, Elie ended up getting away but now he was by himself in the

I have begun reading Night by Elie Wiesel. This novel is about the events that Elie Wiesel endured as a teenager and harrowing truths about the holocaust. The first chapter was quickly paced and straightforward. A major part of Eli’s day was studying. A man Elie meets named Moishe the Beadle begins to cause him to question his faith and why he prays. The man is definitely different and this later causes the community to miss a warning sign of their impending doom. Moishe the Beadle is a foreign jew and is taken away months earlier than the other jews. He witnesses and miraculously survives a mass murder of foreign jews by faking dead. After returning to Sighet he attempt to warn the residents of what happened but no one believed him. This is important because at this time there were still visas available but since no one could fathom the idea of an attack on a whole population that included millions no one listened. Eli thinks, “Annihilate an entire people? Wipe out a population dispersed throughout so many nations? So many millions of people! By what means?” (8) I liked this explanation in the book because most holocaust books brush over the reason of not leaving when they sensed conflict besides fear and this seemed much more logical in the fact that it does appear to be unbelievable.

"Night" by Elie Wiesel is "A slim volume of terrifying power" (The New York Time), the novel is concerning the tragic events that occurred during the Holocaust. The first section of the memoir raises an internal conflict, regarding the Jews of Sighet being ignorant about the terrifying events that are occurring outside their small town. This conflict is created when Moishe the Beadle escaped from the Gestapo and returned to Sighet to warn the Jews of the crisis, which is happening right under their noses. This is shown in the following quote, "he went from one Jewish house to the next, telling his story" (7), despite warning his community of the dangers that are progressing towards them, the Jews of Sighet ignored him and did not believe Moishe. The ignorance of the Jews is shown when

Imagine that a group of people came up to somebody and started treating that person terribly. These group of people do not treat the person as a normal human being,but instead treats the person as a lower individual. While some may claim that oppressors dehumanize their victims for more dominance, but others claim that they dehumanize their victims for satisfaction. Despite the multiple reasons of why oppressors dehumanize their victims, is that dehumanizing people is still a horrible action. In Elie Wiesel’s novel, Night, there are many scenes where the oppressors dehumanize their victims. There were dozen of moments where the oppressors had dehumanize their victims for many despicable reasons. By many horrible

Mass murdering, massacres, and human suffering are all something that we are familiar with; whether this familiarity is from a personal experience or something we learned from a book or movie. This concept is all living within us in the back of our heads, setting up camp for the long haul. The short story from Night by Elie Wiesel is about a family that gets taken to a concentration camp in the midst of a genocide. The family faces intolerance just because of their Jewish heritage and religion. This intolerance and genocide is relevant in today's world. No, nobody is trying to take over the world and kill half the human population while doing it. This intolerance and possible genocide is occurring because we are doing it to ourselves. The short story from Night by Elie Wiesel connects to the world issue of abrupt climate change through the noun “genocide”; like the Jews being mass murdered by the Nazis, the whole human species will be obliterated by mother nature if we don’t take crucial environmental steps and focus on science and technology.

When Elie Wiesel got captured in 1944, his family was first taken to that concentration camp called Auschwitz. While him and his family was there, his mother and younger sister were killed. They then got moved to a different concentration camp called Buchenwald. While they were there, his father became very sick, and one

The Night used to be ours: Albino's being oppressed in Tanzania Everyone in your community knows you, hates you, and wants you dead, for a crime you committed by being born; you're an albino. As a Tanzanian albino, you are accustomed to being looked upon as peculiar, being dealt with differently, as well as getting fewer opportunities. Some albinos say that they could deal with this, however, recently the treatment has turned from unreasonable to full scale brutality. As Elie Wiesel highlights in his novel Night; “The yellow star? Oh well, what of it?

Conformity and rebellion affect people in many different ways. Those who defy social norms are often unaccepted or even punished. Also, taking the risk to rebel triggers fright in individuals. Whether it is the fear of physical harm or social intolerance, it takes great strength to overcome this fear in order to resist injustice. In Night, many characters experience conformity and rebellion. Elie struggles with his doubts in God. On Yom Kippur, when he was supposed to fast, Elie explains, “And I nibbled my crust of bread. In the depths of my heart, I felt a great void” (66). By eating on Yom Kippur, Elie stages his personal revolt against his religion. As Elie witnesses the horrors of the Holocaust, he loses his faith in God. He describes,

In the world both have faced many different types of adversity and plenty of different ways. In the novel Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie was facing adversity in every step he took. Every day was a new challenge to live. Every camp was just as worse as the last. Jews were forced to work in camps every day of their lives and live with little food and resources, yet through it all he still lived in the camps even when death and religion were on the line.
