The Books Night, By Elie Wiesel

Night is a book written by Elie Wiesel. In this book Wiesel tells about his experiences in the Holocaust. Wiesel was only twelve years old when the Holocaust first affected him. Early on Wiesel was separated from his mother and sister. Him and his father were then moved from camp to camp having to endure harsh conditions. Together they both saw terrible things that they will never forget. Many conflicts in The Holocaust changed both Wiesel and his father. 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.

There are many important themes and overtones to the book Night, by Eliezer Wiesel. One of the major themes from the book includes the protagonist, and author of his memoire, Elie Wiesel’s ever changing relationship with God. An example of this is when Moche the Beadle asked Elie an important question that would change his life forever, as the basis of his passion and aptitude for studying the ancient texts and teachings of Judaism, “When Moche the Beadle asked Elie why he prayed, Elie couldn 't think of an answer that truly described his faith, and thought, "a strange question, why did I live, why did I breathe?" (Wiesel 14).

Night by Elie Wiesel is about his experiences in the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944 to 1945, at the height of the Holocaust and toward the end of the Second World War. It is

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.

Later on, Elie’s father becomes very sick and he has to watch the slow death of his own father (Wiesel). In the end of the novel, Elie is liberated from the camps. He describes looking into a mirror and seeing nothing but a corpse. He tells of how it took years to separate himself from the corpse and become himself again

Upon arrival at the concentration camps 75% of people were killed. The memoir Night by Elie Wiesel was a book about his time in the concentration camps during World War One. Elie wrote this book so we could not be quiet about what happened to the jews and so history would not repeat itself. Elie Wiesel used his faith to fight for humanity during the holocaust and the rest of his life.

The book Night by Elie Wiesel is about a teenage boy who lives through the holocaust. Before reading the book you need to know about the holocaust. The holocaust started in 1933 and ended in 1945. The holocaust is a genocide where 6 million Jews were killed by Nazis lead by Adolf Hitler. Hitler blamed the Jewish people for anything and everything. Hitler had the nazis take Jews to concentration camps. Families were broken apart and never seen their loved one again.

The Nazis and other Germans not only killed over six million people during the Holocaust, but one and a half million of people killed were children. Over a million of them were Jewish and many of the others were Gypsy, Polish, and others living in Europe at the time. In the novel Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie shares his personal experience during the Holocaust starting in Sighet and ending when he was freed from Buchenwald. Children of all ages risked their lives for survival and many were only able to live for a very short time because of the difficult situations and conditions. Many were killed in the gas chambers as soon as they arrived at the concentration camps because they were considered useless. The younger children were killed right away like his sister Tzporia, but as Elie got older he got beaten and tortured by the Nazis and was treated like an animal not a human being.

Having the knowledge of inherent good and evil, using that knowledge to determine ones actions and putting others before oneself is what constitutes a good human being. Living in a world that has so much hate and suffering, (that has been exemplified throughout history by men and ruthless leaders like Adolf Hitler; the evil mastermind behind the atrocities of the Holocaust during World War II and Jay Gatsby in the novel The Great Gatsby for blinding himself from the ways of right and wrong to simply be able to make Daisy his after many years having passed), it is hard to find examples of good people in characters within books; much less actual human beings. And yet, there are still good people and virtuous characters in literature and film that give hope for there being a truly good person. In the autobiography Night by Elie Wiesel, the integrity behind Elie’s actions can be seen when he struggles to make life decisions for not only himself, but for his father. The story Of Mice and Men where Lennie takes care of George even though he, (George), held him back from some of his aspirations that he had been striving towards for many years. And Harold Crick in the film Stranger than Fiction who put himself before the bus to save a child’s life along with Karen Eiffel changing her writing style to better other people’s lives.

This is a book that everyone will enjoy, if the person does not like to read this book will catch their attention as it did to the person writing the sentence.

In 1941, when he is twelve, the narrator, Eliezer Wiesel, wants to study the cabbala but his father tells him that he is too young. Eliezer's father is highly regarded in the Jewish community and pays more attention to outside matters than to family ones; Eliezer has two older sisters, Hilda and Bea, and a younger one,Tzipora.
