Elie Wiesel

The atrocity expressed throughout Night, by Elie Wiesel, gives us a clear understanding into the levels of inhumane management which occurred in the times of World War II from the Germans. During the Holocaust, Hitler’s main objective was to make the Jews feel defective; he was ahead of the game. The Jews were tortured everyday for no reason at all other than for the SS officers’ own laughs. Wiesel exercises imagery, dialogue, and plot events to voice his own experience with the trauma of inhumanity
