Summary Of Night By Elie Wiesel

One of the decisions Elie had to make was when an inmate was yelling at Elie asking how old he was. The inmate was telling Elie and his father to lie about their ages to the officers so that they would not be killed. Elie, 15 and Shlomo, 50 had to lie about their ages by saying they were 18 and 40 so that they would be able to stay in the camps and not be sent to the crematorium. Elie had to make a fast decision that would be life or death and they chose the right thing to do by listening to the inmate. For all we know, the inmate could’ve been setting them up! Was that a wise choice for them to do? Next, we have the Escape.

Night starts out with the normal life of teenage Elie Wiesel, a Jew in Sighet, Hungary. He studies the Torah and the Kabbalah, two Jewish texts. Then the Nazis take over Hungary and enforce their anti-Semitic laws. The laws get more and more restrictive on the Jews. Eventually all the Jews in Sighet are forced into small and cramped ghettos. Soon after they were put in the ghettos they began to be put in cattle cars and shipped off on a long journey to a location unknown by Elie and his fellow Jews. After numerous days in the cattle cars the group of Jews arrive at Birkenau, the entrance to Auschwitz. They go through a selection and the men are separated from the women and Elie’s family is split up. Then they were shaved, and cleaned, and stripped of everything they own, even their humanity in the eyes of the Nazis. Elie is left with only his father and his determination to survive.

During the Holocaust, many people were separated from their families and were put in concentration camps. Everyone was dramatically impacted by the events of the Holocaust including Elie’s family in Night. Elie’s personal relationships and values of family severely changed through the events of being told his family was being deported, being separated from his mother and siblings, and the death of his father. In the beginning of the book, Elie’s father worked with the Jewish community in Sighet to bring information to his family, friends, and neighbors.

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

Elie’s family was taken away by SS Nazi soldiers on a cattle car train to Auschwitz concentration camp. Immediately after arriving, all of the women, including Elie’s mother and sisters, were separated from the men. Luckily enough, Elie remained by his father’s side, but to be in a place that smells of burning flesh, and soldiers screaming abhorrent words towards Jews while holding rifles, was traumatic for Elie. He had no knowledge of what was to happen to his own mother and sisters, but had a precise vision as to their fate while at Auschwitz, the emotional strife was already high and only just beginning for him. So after being separated, Elie is seen by Dr. Mengele, survival kicks in for Elie and he lies to the Doctor

After eleven months of living in the concentration camps, Elie and his father barely survived. They both had to sacrifice everything they had to make it this far, including the regular selections that would mean death if they failed them. When the Soviet army approached the current concentration camp, all the prisoners were very happy, but they were all forced to evacuate and run nonstop until the next camp. “My father's presence was the only thing that stopped me. He was running next to me, out of breath, out of strength, and desperate.

Night is a memoir written by Elie Wiesel about his time spent during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel was a normal jewish boy, who lived in the town of Sighet. He studied the Torah and went to school and played games and had friends, just like you and me. Everything changed in the year of 1943 during the beginning of WWI. You can only image what happened to the Jewish boy Elie and his beloved family, but with the book Night the images in your mind come to live through Elie’s writing. You feel his sorrow and pain, you feel his slow deterioration of his everything that makes him human.

After reading the book “Night” the Nazi treated the people like nothing. When families arrives at Auschwitz, the men and women are separated, and Elie sees his mother and sisters vanishing in the distance. He holds onto his father and is determined not to lose him. A fellow prisoner tells Elie to say that he is eighteen (though he is really fifteen) and that his father is forty (though he is fifty). The prisoners who have been at Auschwitz for a while are brutal and cruel to the new arrivals, and one of them tells them about the crematory. Some of the young men talk about revolting, but are silenced by their elders. Thereafter, everyone is forced to march past SS officer, who uses a baton to pick out who will remain alive and who will go to

Through his first-person memoir Night, Elie Wiesel reveals that people experience changes in their attitude as they become products of their environments.

Others though very stupidly tell them to rely on faith, not action. They then march to auschwitz where they were quarantined for a while and got their prison number tattooed on their arm. Past this they were taken to buna where they will begin their work. After the inspections to make sure he was work-fit Elie was placed under a particularly violent kapo who ends up causing him and his father much pain and suffering. It should be noted that Elie clearly and honestly states how the camp has changed him.

Night is a memoir written by Elie Wiesel, a young Jewish boy, who tells of his experiences during the Holocaust. Elie is a deeply religious boy whose favorite activities are studying the Talmud and spending time at the Temple with his spiritual mentor, Moshe the Beadle. At an early age, Elie has a naive, yet strong faith in God. But this faith is tested when the Nazi's moves him from his small town.

Exposition based on the theory is defined as the opening of the story. In Night novel the opening of the story explained about where is the setting take time and place. Elie also described about his teacher and father as the beginning of the story. They called him Moishe the Beadle, as if his entire life he had never had a surname.

Elie and his family were packed into cattle cars and taken to Auschwitz. As the train arrived, they saw smoke rising from chimneys and were assailed by the horrific smell of burning flesh (Wiesel, 2008).
