The Holocaust Is Remembered As One Of The Most Vicious Events

Within Wiesel’s reflection of his life during World War II, it is evident that Night reveals much that is wrong with human nature, particularly the cruelty represented by the Nazis. During the novel, Elie and every other Jew suffer extreme circumstances, such as, having to leave their loved ones behind or being threatened to do

Night is a memoir by Elie Wiesel describing his experience as a victim of the Holocaust. When Wiesel decided to write about his experiences, he was challenged with adequately expressing the terror beyond words. What resulted was a powerful and heavy story that changed how people around the world think about the Holocaust. The numerous motifs throughout the story, like soup and fire, are one of the reasons why this story is so impactful. In fact, motifs are a pivotal aspect of the story, and without them the story would not be as impactful.

In his interview with “the Paris Review”, he talks about “Night” and what it really means to him,” Night is not a novel, it’s an autobiography. It’s a memoir. It’s testimony “(Wiesel) all his written work ends up having a connection to his first novel, writing “night” made him want to share more of himself with his readers. Although throughout his novel Wiesel leave us wanting more. We feel as if there are details in his life that he holds back from his readers, either because they mean to much and he wants to feel a sense of privacy or because they are still too vivid in his mind to write

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.

For example, in Night, countless people were unable to maintain their faith in God due to the events that took place during the Holocaust. Similarly today, Jewish communities in Europe are struggling to maintain their faith in both God and in humanity. This is because anti-Semitism is continuously increasing, which is causing individuals to question God and his reasons for allowing these acts to occur. Another key idea in this book is remembrance. One of Elie Wiesel’s main purposes of writing Night was to inform people of the tragedies that occurred during the Holocaust. He not only wanted people to understand the conditions and emotions people were going through, but he also wanted to prevent something like this from ever happening again. The information in Ross’s article indicates that Elie Wiesel was unfortunately incorrect. Anti-Semitic acts are still occurring around the world everyday. They are also becoming more frequent and violent due to the upcoming anniversary of the

Overall I think that the literary devices used in Night bring Wiesel’s words to life. They give detail to his experiences and help the reader better understand the different situations he experienced. You can see, hear, and feel each atrocity he faced because of each literary

Over ten million people died during the Holocaust, and over six million of them were Jewish. The book Night, is about Elie Wiesel, a Romanian child that was taken to a concentration camp. In the camp, Wiesel and his dad are separated from his mom and sister. In the book, many themes are used such as humanity. The prisoners slowly lose humanity in the camp and it is necessary for them to survive incidents such as fighting for bread, risking their lives for soup, and beating up people.

    Wiesel began his story off with having to leave his own home. All Jews in Sighet were forced to board cattle cars which would travel to one of many concentration camps. When Wiesel and his family arrived in Birkenau, they knew they were in danger. Weisel described the smell in the air, the smoke rising from chimneys, and the flames in the distance. The Jews were ordered off the cars and were told to separate women and men.  He wrote, “Yet that was the moment I left my mother. There was no time to think, and I already felt my father's hand press against mine, we were alone” (Wiesel 29). This quote helps establish the purpose of the novel. The purpose of “Night” is to make the readers understand how horrible the holocaust really was.  This single quote gives a small idea of what the Jews went through, such as being separated from loved ones. The imagery included in this quote helps the reader picture what truly happened in the concentration camps and what Wiesel went through

Although the world continues to face tragedy, little compares to that of the horrors millions of innocent Jews like Elie Wiesel faced, as they were deported from their homes, separated from their families and pushed around into different concentration camps where they were brutally tortured, killed, and discarded of by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany Army beginning in 1941. It wasn’t until April of 1945 that Elie along with the limited number of other survivors were finally liberated. This mid 20th century atrocity has come to be known as the Holocaust, a tragic part of history that will never be forgotten. It was because of that experience, that Elie Wiesel extensively depicted the events he faced through written and verbal accounts including the speech he gave entitled “The Perils of Indifference” on April 12, 1999. The speech was given at the 7th Millennium Evening at the White House, with an intent to create a kairotic moment with the public including the audiences it was broadcasted to, as an opportunity to explain a darker side of history, while also hopefully enlightening them for the future.

The Holocaust was a time of death. It was initiated by Adolf Hitler and his German army and was the mass genocide that killed over six million Jews. Among those were women and children being sent to death right away, the others were then “selected”, Elie Wiesel was one of the lucky ones. He was a survivor who lived to tell about his experience in the death camps. Elie Wiesel wrote the book ‘Night’ because he felt it was his duty and responsibility to show readers what really happened during the Holocaust. His writing style effectively develops his point of view so he is able to convey a compelling story-his story.
