What Is The Effects Of Life In Night By Elie Wiesel

Learning about the Holocaust is important because it is a big part of world history. It teaches us about the traumatic events of World War II (WWII). It also shows us how people suffered, starved, and even died. Another thing it shows us is what events can occur when there is an abuse of power. The word Holocaust means, "sacrifice by fire".

The human condition is a very malleable idea that is constantly changing due to the current state of mankind. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, the concept of the human condition is displayed in the worst sense of the concept, during the Holocaust of WWII. During this time, multiple groups of people, most notably European Jews, were persecuted against and sent to horrible hard labor and killing centers such as Auschwitz. In this memoir, Wiesel uses complex figurative language such as similes and metaphors to display the theme that a person’s state as a human, both at a physical and emotional level, can be altered to extreme lengths, and even taken away from them under the most extreme conditions.

In the memoir Night, by Elie Wiesel, the word night is repeatedly used as a metaphor symbolizing the conditions and emotions that the Jews struggle with during the Holocaust. Elie’s personal struggle with his experience evoke connotations of darkness that describe the inhumane treatment that Elie and the Jews are forced to endure throughout the memoir. In the beginning, Elie's town is invaded by German soldiers and soon, the Germans force all of the town's Jews to evacuate. After being thrown onto a freight train to Auschwitz, Elie experiences a whole new world filled with fear and hatred. Elie uses “night” to describe the struggles and hardships that he encounters throughout his experience. The literal meaning of the word night is simply the period of darkness everyday between sunset and sunrise. However, the metaphorical meaning of night, in this memoir, is far more sinister. As depicted in Night, the title metaphorically refers to the evil, hopelessness, and emotional coldness that the Jews are constantly forced to face throughout the Holocaust.

In a desperate moment for survival, a person will act in a spontaneous manner to

Imagine living in fear and not knowing when its your time to die! In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel it talked about the holocaust and how people were trying to survive during the time of the Holocaust. Elie the main character was one of the Jews that were forced to go to the concentration camps and had to follow the Germans orders. He had to take care of of his father during all the madness and couldn't even take care of him self. His father was slowly dieing. Elie and his father had faith because they were able to survive the whole Holocaust. Death and survival in the memoir shows a lot about how people in the story die during the madness of the War and how people make it and survive during the Holocaust.

Fear, fear is what Daniel experienced every second of the Holocaust, fear that he would be killed or tortured. During the Holocaust millions of Jews were killed. They were forced to go to concentration camps where most of them were forced to work. Once they were unable to work they were sent off to the gas chambers. Adolf Hitler was able to convince the Germans that the source of all of their problems was Jews. Adolf Hitler was a motivational speaker people believed him. Causing millions of German to harm Jews. By the time the war was over thousands of people continued to die. Not having the hope to keep living, or that there was anyone in the world that would accept them. Many would still live in fear and never recover from what they have been through. The experiences that have the greatest impact on daniel are when Aunt leah and a young boy are murdered in cold blood, causing him to fear the Nazis.

It is important to remember and learn from the Holocaust because we can try to prevent genocides from happening in the future. By learning from the tactics of Hitler and the Nazis when they were about to liquidate the Jews, we can tell if one person or a group is planning to kill many people.

The Holocaust was one of the most horrible and dreaded events in history. Millions of Jews were killed, leaving many families devastated and hopeless. With the goal of racial purity, Adolf Hitler- along with many other Germans believed the Jews caused the defeat of their country, and led the Nazis to the elimination of Jews. For this reason, “Even in the early 21st century, the legacy of the Holocaust endures…as many as 12,000 Jews were killed every day” (The Holocaust). Later, Hitler organized concentration camps, where mass transports of Jews from ghettoes were brought and typically killed also. However, the fortunate Jews that were not killed still had many restrictions on their

The memoir night by Elie Wiesel is a book about a very religious, and poor Jewish teen that explains what happened to him in the holocaust, and how it changed him. Elie lived in a poor town in Hungary. He wanted to become a Jewish scholar so at the age of fifteen he started studying Kabbalah, but his dad says he should not waste his time because, there is no kabbalists in his town. As the memoir goes on Elie was taken to many different concentration camps and ghettos. This goes on to change him physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The Holocaust was a rough time for the Jews. The Jews were completely discriminated against by a large group of people, such as the Nazi’s. During this time, there were about five to six million Jew deaths, but it is impossible to know the exact number of deaths because of the amount of evidence that was destroyed (Rosenberg). Luckily, Elie Wiesel wasn’t one of those five to six million deaths. He wrote a novel called Night to describe his own experiences in the concentration camps.

The Holocaust took place in 1941 in Germany. In total during the Holocaust six million Jews, and five million non Jews lost their lives to the Nazis. One of the nine hundred thousand survivors won the Nobel Peace Prize, and that would be Elie Wiesel. After this terrible tragedy Elie wrote the book Night describing his life as the Holocaust approached his family and the scary way he lost his family and friends to the Holocaust. The Holocaust changed Elie Wiesel in big and small ways, emotionally and his relationship with his father. The nazis starved him, beat him, make him watch horrible things (Such as Death), enslaved him, and all of this torture came to an end on May 5, 1945, when he was rescued by the Americans.

There are many things in history that people do not know about. Most do not think about what happened in the past to get them to where they are now. Between five to six million Jews were killed in the a Holocaust. The exact amount is not known because some were killed in the concentration camps and some were killed in their own homes(Holocaust A Call To Conscience). In the book Night by Elie Wiesel the Jews had to go through dehumanization, adapt to countless different things, but they also went through a psychological change because of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a genocide where many European Jews were killed because of Adolf Hitler. The question I will be answering now is why the Holocaust important, and why it should not be forgotten.

Night, by Elie Wiesel, is about the Nazis, and the concentration camps, and his experiences at those camps. Elie Wiesel and his father are sent to a concentration camp. Where he is separated from his mother and sister. While he is there he loses his ability to care for others, and starts to focus on how he will survive till tomorrow. This causes him to lose his faith in God, and he refuses to even comprehend God. He goes from a kind hearted soul to a disturbed boy.

In the novel Night, author Elie Wiesel gives a poignant first-hand account of life in a concentration camp. Throughout this time, he, his father, and others worked long grueling hours and had little food to sustain their strength. The conditions in the barracks were deplorable. There was no heat, had very little room to sleep and wore clothing that barely kept them warm. Wiesel and his father remained in Buna, a camp located in Auschwitz for a period of time until the SS evacuated the camp. Before the evacuation was implemented, the prisoners prayed and held out hope that the Red Army would reach them. Everyone in camp was put in groups of a hundred and readied to march to what they assumed would be the next encampment.

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in history which ended many innocent Jewish lives. Six million Jews plus many more were completely wiped out due to the effects of the Holocaust. It is still unforgivable for the things the Nazi party did and is still a very questionable subject on how they were able to accomplish such devastation. To be able to organize the removal of an entire population of people based on their religion not only takes high intelligence, but most of all takes a very twisted and demented outlook on life. Learning about the holocaust and the people involved is very important, as well as how it has affected our world today. There are many very fascinating things about the holocaust but three
