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

The holocaust ended May 8, 1945 but it took the lives of millions of people with it. Depriving millions of innocent souls of basic rights we have today. In the book Night, we are shown the experiences and transformations of young Elie from the day he arrived in the ghetto, to his last day in a concentration camp. As a result of his experiences during the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel changes from a religious, sensitive little boy to a spiritually dead, unemotional man.

During the run, Elie notes, “We pressed on. We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything—death, fatigue, our natural needs. Condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth. We were without strength, without illusions.”

When Elie is being transported to the other camp someone begins to choke him. He beings clawing at the attacker, fighting for his life. This shows bravery because he was fighting to live despite all that is happening all around him. The camp is slowly killing him but yet he mustard up the strength to fight for his depleting life. “But I myself was crushed under the the weight of other bodies. I had difficulty breathing. I dug my nails into the unknown faces. I was biting my way through, searching for air. No one cried out.” (Wiesel

When you go through something as horrible as the Holocaust, you change in many ways that didn’t seem possible. These changes could include struggling to maintain faith or the ability to no longer function as a man. The book “Night” by Elie Wiesel follows the journey of Elie who faced these struggles while suffering in concentration camps.

The holocaust is one of the world's most tragic events, approximately 6 million Jews died and the concentration camp Auschwitz is the world's largest human cemetery, yet it has no graves. In Elie Wiesel's autobiographical memoir Night, he writes about his dehumanizing journey in the concentration camp, Auschwitz. Firstly, Elie experiences the loss of love and belonging when he is separated from his mother, sisters, and eventually his father. Also, the lack of respect that the Nazis showed the prisoners which lead to the men, including Elie to feel a sense of worthlessness in the camp. Finally, the lack of basic necessities in the camp leads to the men physically experiencing dehumanization. As a result, all these factors contribute to the

In 2006, Elie Wiesel published the memoir “Night,” which focuses on his terrifying experiences in the Nazi extermination camps during the World War ll. Elie, a sixteen-year-old Jewish boy, is projected as a dynamic character who experiences overpowering conflicts in his emotions. One of his greatest struggles is the sense helplessness that he feels when all the beliefs and rights, of an entire nation, are reduced to silence. Elie and the Jews are subjected daily to uninterrupted torture and dehumanization. During the time spent in the concentration camp, Elie is engulfed by an uninterrupted roar of pain and despair. Throughout this horrific experience, Elie’s soul perishes as he faces constant psychological abuse, inhuman living conditions, and brutal negation of his humanity.

Wiesel’s mind set changed greatly from the torment he withstood during this time in his life. Mr. Wiesel applies strong emotions to events that normally others would not, which, for example he stated one page one hundred that while in Aden “Our ship’s passengers amused themselves by throwing coins to the “natives,” who dove to retrieve them. An elegant Parisia lady took great pleasure in this game.” This game made two children fight fiercely, just like the prisoners did when germans threw bread pieces into the wagon they were in. This shows that certain things remind Eliezer of his experience in the holocaust and cause him to have flashbacks which overwhelm him with emotions that most others in his situation would not have. ELiezer’s view on what others do and why also changed. When Rabbi Eliahu came looking for his son, Elie remembered seeing the son abandon the Rabbi while they were running. Eliezer thought it was terrible and prayed that he would never do the same to his father. Then on page one hundred five Elie stated “I knew that I was longer arguing with him but with Death itself, with Death that he had already chosen.” right before he went inside of the block and left his father in the cold to die. When Elie left his father outside, his actions showed that he was like the Rabbi’s son. He wanted to survive and being with someone else was a burden to him and would make his life harder than it already was. These two reasons show that Elie’s mind was changed in major ways during this dark time in history but, something more important was changed

The murder of thousands can not only impact the universe, but the ones that live in it. For instance, victims of the Happiest had to deal with, not only losing all of their loved ones but the deaths of others around them. In “Night”, Elie is expiring death, of not only his loved ones, also other Jews who were taken by Hitler. The loss of your family is petrifying. But watching others have their lives slipped away from their fingertips, is indubitably scary. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, Elie changes drastically throughout the book, because of the time he spent in Auschwitz, one of the most infamous concentration camps.

After nearly two years of misery, a young boy finally saw the first ray of hope on the horizon; the Americans had finally arrived, and the Nazis were gone. In his autobiography Night, Elie Wiesel shares his experiences in Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of Hitler’s concentration camps. Wiesel was one of the minority of Jews to survive the Holocaust during World War II. His family did not make it through with him, and this had lasting effects. Wiesel’s identity changed completely during his experiences in Auschwitz; he lost his faith in God and he became indifferent to his survival and the survival of his family members. Despite these hardships, however, he ultimately became a stronger person than he was before.

Traumatic and scarring events occur on a daily basis; from house fires to war, these memories are almost impossible to forget. The Holocaust is only one of the millions of traumas that have occurred, yet it is known worldwide for sourcing millions of deaths. Elie Wiesel was among the many victims of the Holocaust, and one of the few survivors. In the memoir, “Night”, by Elie Wiesel, Elie, the main character, is forever changed because of his traumatic experiences in the Auschwitz concentration camps.

A tragic event can change someone’s life forever in a good way or a bad way. The holocaust shaped people's lives into a way where they can never go back. In “Night” by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie, changed as a person due to his experiences at Auschwitz. Elie was a victim of the holocaust and it changed his life forever as a person and a Jew.
