Six million Jewish people had been taken from their homes and put to the most dehumanizing work in history by being transported to concentration camps to work 12+ hour shifts. With little to no food, complete segregation, and torturous treatment by sadistic guards, this time of life was a literal hell for these Jews. The SS guards stationed there were so brutal, that the prisoners felt constantly in fear for their lives.

The Holocaust was one of the most horrific and dehumanizing occurrences that the human race has ever endured. It evolved around cruelty, hatred, death, destruction and prejudice.

Suffering. Pain. Misery. Death. ALl the negative thoughts in Human minds, many that we never want to face. Pain can take a toll on you, physically and mentally.

“An estimated 1/3 of all Jewish people alive at that time were murdered in the Holocaust” (Lehnardt 11). Many people died and struggled to live in a terrible way during the Holocaust and Elie Wiesel was one of them. Elie, the author of the book Night, wrote about his and his family’s life during the Holocaust and the struggles of everyone's lives. Throughout the book, Elie Wiesel states the idea many times that dehumanization is an awful thing and can take over any person, but pushing through it shows strength.

In his autobiographical memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel conveys the dehumanization of the Jews through the devastating events placed upon them in the concentration camps. In an attempt to show the Jews’ inferiority, the Nazis created the concentration camps, which stripped them of their identities, one by one. The Germans shaved each prisoner’s hair off, dressed them in the same clothes, and referred to them as numbers instead of their name. Jews lived under agonizing circumstances. They were unhealthy and weak but were still able to endure such intense circumstances day after day instead of being shot or sent to the gas chambers.

The Nazi’s reason for killing the innocent was due to their race and religion. Most people are aware of the incidents that occurred during this particular time period, but what some people don’t know is how terrible the prisoners were really treated. Nothing has caused more pain and suffering for man than man himself.

Surprise. Terror. Sabotage. Assassination. These are the words used to describe the war of the future by Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany and murderer of more than 5.93 million Jews. Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel, author of Night, was one of the Jews who were lucky enough to survive the Holocaust. Wiesel was deported from his hometown of Sighet, Transylvania to Auchwitz in 1940 at the age of 15. Through the course of his captivity as number A-7713, Wiesel struggled to maintain his humanity and caring nature while surrounded by starving Jews who were constantly being reduced to nothing more than beasts, going so far as to kill their own family for a scrap of bread. The Nazis dehumanized the Jews through oppression and fear tactics, which gave Hitler his greatest reward over the course of the Second World War: seeing every last Jew dead or suffering and inflicting terror on those who dared to oppose the Third Reich.

An estimated six million people were killed in the Holocaust, making it the deadliest genocide in history. Elie Wiesel was among the fraction of Jews who survived. Weisel documented his time in concentration camps in his book, Night. Throughout the book, Elie went through many changes, transforming from a young boy into a hardened man. When Elie was first introduced, he was described as a devoted student of the Talmud with an unwavering faith in God. However, he was soon deported to a concentration camp that tested his faith and humanity. As Elie witnessed more and more horrors, his faith in God began to fade until it was completely gone. Additionally, he began to lose compassion and sympathy as he was unable to think of anyone but himself. The events of concentration camp shaped Elie into a living corpse, stripping him of the attributes that made him human.

It is in human nature to work and live together with other people and to give a part of ourselves to the others around us. Optimism is very important here because an optimist tries to make the world a better place by making the people better people. Optimists help everyone in their community as much as they can in every possible way. Sometimes people just need to hear some good words and that is what optimists are great at. You have probably heard the story about the one bad apple that turned all the good apples bad. Optimism is the exact opposite because one optimist has the power to make all the people around him or her to see life from a positive point of view. This is one of my favorite things about optimism because optimists do not only help themselves, they help the world. And by helping the world they help themselves because the people that you once helped will help you achieve your
