Summary Of Marshal Péhenno's Wartime Regime

Elie Wiesel’s autobiography Night is an account of the brutality of the Holocaust faced by Elie at the age of fourteen to fifteen and the horrors he endures. Night exposes much that is wrong with human nature and reveals little that is right. During the novel, he endures loss of faith as his experience within the Holocaust becomes more difficult. The elements wrong with human nature are represented by the novel, particularly the cruelty and the ignorance. The autobiography, however, only represents little that is right, such as the memory kept in order for the events never to happen again.

Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night tells the unforgettable tale of his account of the savagery and brutality the Nazis showed during the Holocaust. Night depicts the story of a budding Jew from the small town of Sighet named Eliezer. He and his family are exiled to the concentration camp known as Auschwitz. He must master the skills needed to survive with his father’s guidance until he finds liberation from the monstrosity that is the camp. This memoir, however, hides a far more meaningful lesson that can only be revealed through careful analyzation.

The topic of war is hard to imagine from the perspective of one who hasn't experienced it. Literature makes it accessible for the reader to explore the themes of war. Owen and Remarque both dipcik what war was like for one who has never gone through it. Men in both All Quiet on the Western Front and “Dulce Et Decorum” experience betrayal of youth, horrors of war and feelings of camaraderie.

An author’s form of word usage and manipulation provides stories their feeling, tone, and pace while simultaneously creating a reader’s suspension of belief. Elie Wiesel in his book Night tells us of the year he spent in concentration camps during the Holocaust. Like many people have said and proven true, a lot of things can happen in a year making it almost impossible to retell every experience down to a tee; with this information in mind Wiesel writes of the moments that stuck with him, and would possibly with readers.

As said by Audrey Hepburn; “Living is like tearing through a museum, not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can’t take it in all at once.” In Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, the Holocaust took place in an order of layers. As time passed, the extremity was increased each chapter he succumbed to. Elie expresses raw emotion in his memoir, Night, and leaves you in a complete, utter state of wonder and sadness. Not only this, but remembering and cherishing the importance of all the emotions from this time in history. In Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, the theme of remembering is present before the Holocaust and in today’s society.

As the famous journalist Iris Chang once said, “As the Nobel Laureate warned years ago, to forget a holocaust is to kill twice.” After experiencing the tragedies that occurred during the Holocaust, Eliezer Wiesel narrated “Night”. Eliezer wrote “Night” in an attempt to prevent something similar to the Holocaust from happening again, by showing the audience what the consequences are that come from becoming a bystander. Elie illustrated numerous themes by narrating the state of turmoil he was in during the Holocaust. In Night, Eliezer provided insight into what he experienced in order to teach the unaware audience about three themes; identity, silence, and faith.

World War I changed the landscape of Europe, particularly France, like no war had ever before. The memoir, A Life of Her Own, depicts the experiences of Emilie Carles, a politically active French women. The memoir depicts the country’s history throughout, not only World War I, but most of the 20th century. Carles brother, Joseph, was caught in a German Prisoner of War camp for a good portion of the war. While there, he would write to the Carles and documented the horrors of war. The article A Republic of Letters: The Epistolary Tradition in France during World War I accurately demonstrates the letters exchanged between Joseph and his family throughout the duration of the war. The French economy needed an influx of workers to cope with the departure of abled bodied men while the war took place. For example, The Carles had to sacrifice any leisure time they had to deal with losing another worker on the family farm. These workers were replaced by immigrants. The impact of these new laborers is documented in Workers in France during World War I. The story of Emilie Carles and her family was just one of many examples of families that were dismantled emotionally and economically due to World War I.

“Night” by: Elie Wiesel was a book that really moved me. The shock of knowing what the Nazis did to these innocent people is certainly horrifying. The pictures of the terrifying scenes that they saw during the holocaust must have remained with them forever. The nightmares probably haunted them for the rest of their lives. The thought that woke them up in the middle of the night of whether they were going to live through it or not. Wiesel told his story in a detailed, descript, and haunting way that at some

In the novel Night by Elie Wiesel, shares the tragic occurrences that he has lived through in the various concentration camps during the Holocaust. Judy Cohen, Holocaust survivor, spoke about the horrors of the Holocaust by using rhetoric to persuade her audience. Therefore, these two sources both give accurate descriptions of a historical documentation of the life of a prisoner during the Holocaust and use rhetoric to help visualize the events of the prisoners struggles. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses rhetoric to persuade his audience about the true actions of the German Nazis by using pathos, ethos, and logos.

Elie Wiesel’s short memoir Night recounts his experience surviving the concentration camps during the Holocaust. In the third chapter of the book, he focuses on describing what it was like to arrive at the first concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and the process the men had to go through to transform from men into prisoners. In addition to lying about his age and occupation, Wiesel lost his hair, his clothing, his mother and sisters, his name, and most importantly, his faith. Elie Wiesel's use of imagery and diction in Night makes readers understand the true atrocities of the Holocaust.

Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night (1958), follows a young Elie who discovers that there are detrimental consequences to standing by inequity and beneficial effects to taking action to the subjugation of an individual. While integrating anaphor and metaphor, Wiesel reinforces his theme by illustrating the environment of detestable concentration camps in Poland to initiate the conflict of the struggle between protecting others over personal interests. His objective is to disseminate his unjust experience to ensure society never loses knowledge of the atrocity and to prevent repeated history. Through unveiling his arduous journey, Wiesel creates an atmosphere of despondency and regret for readers to encourage standing up to injustice. In addition,

The Message of the Memoir Night Eliezer Wiesel writes, Eliezer Wiesel is a Jewish Holocaust survivor, an author, and a human rights activist. At the onset of the Holocaust however, Eliezer Wiesel was a thirteen-year-old, small-town-boy of Sighet, Transylvania who by all accounts was “deeply observant” (Wiesel 3). The Holocaust was a dark time in Jewish history in which Anti- Semitics; mainly the German Nazis led by Hitler, tried to exterminate the Jews. As an author, Eliezer uses an array of rhetorical appeals. Rhetorical appeals consist of pathos, logos, and ethos.

In the literary memoir Night written by Elie Wiesel, he informs the readers about his journey of sufferings in a Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust, he used his painful and awful hardships from the Holocaust and exposes that this is what takes place in World Wars. He used the point of view of Eliezer as narrator to relay the autobiographical events from his perspective and always speak in the first person. As Eliezer’s viewpoint is limited to his own experience, and so the tone of Night is intimate, subjective and hugely personal. Elie’s main objective is to describe to the readers the hideous and horrifying scenes and feelings he experienced through as a

Sarah, Shlomo, and Tzipora Wiesel all met their deaths before the liberation of the camps. Not unlike other Holocaust survivors, Wiesel did not wish to dive straight back into the horrific events of the past, and promised to himself that he would not publicly write anything pertaining to his time and experiences in camps for ten years.* In the midst of his “Ten years of silence,” Elie Wiesel acquired masterful comprehension of the French language while studying at Sorbonne in France from 1948 to 1951. During the development of his French, he also took on the study of philosophy and psychology. With both his old and newly acquired literary skill in hand, Elie took part in journalism, writing (in a multitude of languages) for several newspapers in France and

As long as there has been war, those involved have managed to get their story out. This can be a method of coping with choices made or a way to deal with atrocities that have been witnessed. It can also be a means of telling the story of war for those that may have a keen interest in it. Regardless of the reason, a few themes have been a reoccurrence throughout. In ‘A Long Way Gone,’ ‘Slaughterhouse-Five,’ and ‘Novel without a Name,’ three narrators take the readers through their memories of war and destruction ending in survival and revelation. The common revelation of these stories is one of regret. Each of these books begins with the main character as an innocent, patriotic soldier or civilian and ends in either the loss of innocence and regret of choices only to be compensated with as a dire warning to those that may read it. These books are in fact antiwar stories meant not to detest patriotism or pride for one’s country or way of life, but to detest the conditions that lead to one being so simpleminded to kill another for it. The firebombing of Dresden, the mass execution of innocent civilians in Sierra Leone and a generation of people lost to the gruesome and outlandish way of life of communism and Marxism should be enough to convince anyone. These stories serve as another perspective for the not-so-easily convinced.
