The fear of death has haunted us through generations. it alone can bring an innocent person to do horrific things that they would normally never have done. this fear is so heavily embedded in our physiological makeup that it can take complete control and mold us into a coward or a monster.

The two factors that affected Wiesel the most was him having to indirectly face the entire Nazi society and his believe and trust in God.

The books Night, by Elie Wiesel, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne are two intriguing books by themselves. However, when you put them together you gain an improved perspective about the Holocaust. You also get see how people were affected by it, how they reacted to it, and what their opinions were about it. These two books contain many similarities and differences, but they go so well together.

Schindler's List is one of the most powerful movies of all time. It presents the indelible true story of enigmatic German businessman Oskar Schindler who becomes an unlikely saviour of more than 1100 Jews amid the barbaric Nazi reign. A German Catholic war profiteer, Schindler moved to Krakow in 1939 when Germany overran Poland. There he opens an enamelware factory that, on the advice of his Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern, was staffed by Jews from the nearby forced labour camp at Plaszow. Schindler's factory prospered though his contacts with the Nazi war machine and its local representatives, as well as his deft skill on the black market. Then, somewhere along the way, Schindler's devotion to self-interest was

“The Holocaust was not only a Jewish tragedy but also a human tragedy,” (Wiesenthal). The Holocaust was all-around a dark patch in history. It was something that although it took a toll on lots of people throughout the world, and the Holocaust had the biggest impact for those being Jewish and living in Europe. There have been many films, movies, and books depicting life during the Holocaust. Night is a memoir written by Elie Wiesel, who was a victim of the Holocaust growing up as a Jewish boy and has as a result gone to numerous concentration camps.

“The tiny seed knew that in order to grow, it needed to be dropped in dirt, covered with darkness, and struggle to reach the light” (Sandra Kring). In the book Night by Elie Wiesel and in the film Schindler’s List directed by Steven Spielberg, the main characters, Elie Wiesel in Night and Oskar Schindler in Schindler’s List both show major growth throughout the two stories. Elie Wiesel was just a young innocent boy when he was uprooted from his home and taken to concentration camps to be killed just for being a Jew. Going into the camp, he was immediately separated from his mother and sisters and although he was able to stay with his father till the end, he came out of the camp alone and had more of a mindset that the world is a very inhumane place sometimes. Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist and member of the Nazi party, very inconsiderate of others and cared very much about the profit portion of the war, Schindler ended up caring about the Jews and saved over 1000 lives in the Holocaust. Weisel and Schindler witness the Holocaust from two different places in the war and the events in the Holocaust cause them both to change and grow as a person substantially in different ways.

Night is a recollection of Elie Wiesel’s time spent during the holocaust. It is a gripping tale of survival and death. While it is a small book, it has a huge message.

Elie and his fellow inmates at Auschwitz endure dehumanization throughout starvation and on the train to Buchenwald.

The Holocaust is the world’s most dehumanizing incident that occurred from the years 1933 to 1945. It was a racial injustice in which Jews, along with people seen as inferior, were persecuted by the German Nazi’s. Author Elie Wiesel and director Steven Spielberg both do excellent jobs at educating an audience of the horrors people experienced during this time. In Wiesel’s novel Night, the Holocaust is shown from a Jewish boy’s perspective as Elie struggles to survive the torment of several concentration camps. Steven Spielberg’s film Schindler’s List shows the Holocaust from a German Nazi’s perspective, as Oscar Schindler faces an internal struggle while attempting to protect several Jews. The stories share numerous similarities along with differences, however, when it comes down to which is a better representation of the Holocaust, Night will come out on top due to Wiesel’s first hand experiences inside the camps.

The Nazis did everything in their power to dehumanize the inmates in the concentration camps during the holocaust. Night follows the story of a member of the Jewish community, Eliezer Wiesel. This book is Eliezer’s retelling of his experience in the camps, losing his belongings, his family, and finally his humanity.

The novels Night, by Elie Wiesel, and Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz are similar and different in multiple ways. Elie Wiesel conveys his book based on his story, writing about what he himself had lived through, and experienced. Alan Gratz describes his book based on his relative's experience who had also lived through such a horrific event that took place, only 73 years ago. Both books are true stories based on the Holocaust. Both texts have two different main characters and are written in two different perspectives on the characters stories.

The Holocaust was a time of great suffering and inhumanity. The novel Night, which took place during this time, was written by Elie Wiesel and talks about his teen self-experiencing the concentration camps of Auschwitz. This is related to the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas which is the story of a young German boy named Bruno who befriends a Jewish boy in a concentration camp. The many similarities and differences between the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and the novel Night include their many themes of “inhumanity” and “guilt and inaction”, and the two also share and differ in the loss of innocence of the characters and how they develop in each medium.
