The Unequal And Unjust Experiences In The Holocaust

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.

The Holocaust was one of the worst and most horrific events that took place in world history, the largest attempted genocide ever. The Jewish Holocaust has to be one of the largest events that has ever violated human rights. The Holocaust began in 1933 with Adolf Hitler leading the anti-Jew campaign which ultimately led to the torture and murder of over six million Jews in Germany. Hitler’s campaign not only affected the Jews but others would be labeled as “undesirable” as well. Gypsies and homosexuals as well as political and religious opposition would also be eliminated. The Holocaust is taught as a mass genocide of the Jews, but more than five million others would undergo

The Holocaust was a disaster affecting many people's lives, mainly targeting Jewish people. They were also against Poles, Gypsies, Russians, The Disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses and Homosexuals. During the Holocaust six million Jews were murdered and many others were treated inhuman and killed. People who were affected by the Holocaust were discriminated, segregated and hated. This people were mistreated and their freedom was taking away, just by having different beliefs and have a different looks.

Elie Wiesel, the author of the literary memoir Night, illustrates the impact of notable events on his destiny. Eliezer Wiesel grows up in Sighet, Transylvania. A devout Jew, his entire

The Holocaust was a mass murder of millions of individuals’ primary to and during World War II. “Only 54 percent of the people surveyed by the Anti- Defamation League (ADL) in a massive, global poll has ever heard of the Holocaust” (Wiener-Bronner). The Holocaust was from 1933-1945 and was run by German leader named Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a man who wanted to create his own race of people. Therefore to create this race, he wiped out anyone who did not have the specific descriptions that he wanted. For people to fit into his race, they had to have blue eyes and blond hair. This excluded the Jews and from then on Hitler slowly dehumanized them. In the concentration camp the first thing they had to pass was the selection test. The selection test was what the SS man (German soldiers) used to determine who was fit for work. Usually children, mothers, and elders were the first to die because they were not mentally fit for the work they were going to be given. People who passed the selection process either died of starvation, disease, fatigue, or assassination. It took twelve years before anyone intervened and by then it was too late for millions of people. Even though over twelve million people died during the Holocaust, genocides have still happened in Rwanda, Darfur and Cambodia.

Throughout history, many terrible things have happened that have put people in terrible conditions. During the Holocaust, millions of people died, and the few that survived were very lucky. Elie Wiesel, the author of “Night”, endured many horrible things in the Holocaust that shaped him as a person today. In “Night”, by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie, changed as a person due to his experiences at Auschwitz.

The Holocaust was one of, if not the worst mass murder in history. The Nazis did one of the most horrifying things you could think of, killing so many innocent people. Many different groups of people other than jews were also victims of this tragic event. Some of those other groups were: LGBTQ individuals, the physically and mentally disabled, slavs, and members of opposing political groups. These groups of people were ripped from their homes and put into concentration camps. The Nazis would either separate them from their family or they would keep them together and they would have to watch the Nazis torture their family and friends. During this very tragic point in history, more than six million Jewish lives were taken, in total there were over 12 million victims of the Holocaust. Not only did this affect the survivors it also affected families of the victims, survivors and anybody else that was connected through this tragedy. The Nazis, came to “power” in January 1933, which was during a time Germany was going through an economic hardship. They believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, were "inferior.” Adolf Hitler played a very big factor in everything that went down. Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party and was also known as the dictator of the Holocaust. The Nazis did have others that were Hitler’s “army” and they took orders from Hitler to do awful things to the victims and they were commonly known as

Survivors of the holocaust will always be affected by the gruesome actions that were done to them. They will often express their feelings through writing, art, and many other ways informing people of the horrible events they went through. As a holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel shares his story in his memoir Night. It takes the readers through his time in the comcenration camps and the brutal reality of what was being done to him and others. Throughout the memoir his writing reflects the experiences that were done to him through his change in diction, syntax, tone, and physical and emotional changes during chapters 1-5 and 6-9.

Up to 6 million Jews died during the Holocaust, either in concentration camps, Nazi marches, or in ghettos. Out of all the deaths the few that survived lived to tell their stories, and Elie Wiesel was of one them. He wrote a memoir titled Night, in which he shares his experience with readers all around the world. By using many different style devices Wiesel's memoir demonstrates a sober style that is serious, solemn, or grave; writing which is not exaggerated or distorted.

Elie Wiesel experienced a lot of life changes throughout the memoir “Night” that sculpted him into the man that he is today. During his childhood, before the Holocaust occurred, Elie was described as a nice, innocent, young boy, who enjoyed doing things that every young boy liked to do at that age. His life began to change when the Nazi party took over; Elie experienced things that he had never imagined before. He was separated from his family, was starved and beaten, had his personal identity ripped away through dehumanization, and had to do things that someone his age should never be forced to do. As a result of his experiences during the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel changes from a religious, sensitive teenage boy to a spiritually dead, unemotional
