The Book Night By Elie Wiesel

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.

It was in Auschwitz during 1944, at the time of arrival about midnight when the smell of burning flesh saturated the air. There was an unimaginable nightmare of a truck unloading small children and babies thrown into the flames. However, this is only one event in this entire tragedy of events to be remembered in order to understand how deeply literal and symbolic the book entitled Night by Elie Wiesel is. The novel brings light to the reader about what the Jews faced while in the fire, hell and night; nonetheless, the author portrays each and every day during this year as a night in hell of conflagration. "Were this conflagration to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes." (Wiesel 20). When Wiesel arrived at the camp he counted the longest dreadful ten steps of his life; he realized that his nightmare has just become unimaginable.

The Holocaust was a horrible event, one most people hate to think of much less speak of. This event however is the base of young Elie Wiesel’s life and story. The memoir Night by Elie Wiesel is all about his personal journey and place in the telling of the Holocaust. In the book he is sent to Auschwitz as a lamb is sent to the slaughter.

The memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, tells the story of a young boy surviving through the Holocaust. The story conveys the effects of this barbaric event on the boy emotionally, physically, and mentally. This crude, genocidal imperial impacted millions of people. This story focuses mainly on Elie Wiesel's perspective on the Holocaust; considering his many years of labor, servitude, and transportation through multiple concentration camps.

Dr. Josef Mengele- Mengele is a SS officer at the camp and he has the responsibility of choosing those who are unqualified to work. He is mean and dark- hearted.

In the autobiography Night written by Elie Wiesel, the teen boy was forced to travel to several different Nazi concentration camp where he witnessed horrific experiences that he now has kept as memories and had to fight for his survival. Events of the holocaust caused the author to suffer with the significant memories for the rest of his life time. Specific events tramitized Wiesel.

In his novella, Night, Elie Wiesel tells of his experience as a victim in multiple German concentration camps during the Holocaust of World War ll. The following passage illustrates a vivid moment during the struggle, the extent of human cruelty, "Something was being burned there. A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small children. Babies! Yes, I did see this, with my own eyes. . . Children thrown into the flames" (32). As stated in the passage, Elie Wiesel is observing Jewish babies being thrown into a fire. The extent people will go through just to persecute another group can be an overwhelming aspect of war; furthermore, the extent of cruelty brought upon the poor souls was unjust. War is based off ideology, and when two forces clash, the extent of cruelty the opposing sides proceed in can be considered torture.

When I first started reading Night, I immediately knew that I was going to thoroughly enjoy this book. I have always been very interested in history. I am especially interested in learning about the Holocaust. In this book, Eliezer is the narrator of Night and the stand-in for the memoir’s author, Elie Wiesel. Night is written on Wiesel's account of surviving Nazi concentration camps as a teenager. Night tells the story of Eliezer’s physical journey as well as his psychological journey as the Holocaust robs him of his faith in God and exposes him to the deepest inhumanity of which man is capable. I can honestly say I was astonished with the horrors that took place during the Holocaust. My jaw dropped many times while reading this story. My

The slaughter of millions of innocent Jews was the outcome in the concentration camps ran by Nazi Germany. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, the author, a concentration camp survivor, shows the cruel, inhumane acts by the Nazis in the camps. Elie faced starvation, dehydration, and beatings by the German soldiers. In order to survive, luck and motivation by Elie was needed. In my opinion, he was extremely brave. For example, on page 52, he says, ’’Couldn’t you wait a few days, sir? I don’t feel well, I have a fever.’’ The dentist was going to remove Elie’s ‘’gold crown,’’ but Elie was brave enough to lie. In the beginning of the book, German soldiers invade Hungary and were to put all Jews to concentration camps. When Elie and his father arrive

The Night was written to remind people of the tragedies occurred during the holocaust, aswell to tell people that it is an obligation to pass on stories of the holocaust to further generations. In the Preface, Elie mentions how terrible the holocaust really was, while doing so several times. The author mentions seven clear words that describe the holocaust, “Hunger-thirst-fear-transport-selection-fire-chimney:” In the concentration camps, there was little or food and drink. The fear of dying, getting separated from family, friends, and loved ones. The day of being sent on trains filled with people, with no room to spare. Either being sent to death, or working in horrible conditions with little food, and the sight of flames coming out of the

They are at Birkenau and have to be separated by men and women. It is, however, the last time he would see his mother and sister, Tzipora. Eliezer is now with his father and the inmates are upset, asking why they are here and that they should have hanged themselves before coming because of the fate that awaits them. They also give advice, though, saying that Eliezer should say he is eighteen instead of fifteen and that his dad should be forty instead of fifty. Dr.Mengele then appears, asking for their ages and professions, and Eliezer follows the advice and says he is a student. During this process he sees a truck with children, children that are meant to be thrown in the crematorium. He is shocked and disgusted and would rather run into
