4th Block Throughout History, people have studied about the Defense of human rights, and how they tied to the book Night. There are many excerptions from Night that violates the Articles of the Constitution. There are many explanations of why it happened. Many false accusations of articles were displayed throughout the story. Jews were dehumanized in this story and it proves it and shows how.

He kept pushing his dad until his dad just couldn’t survive anymore. The significance of this chapter is Elie’s fathers’ death. He died on the night of January 28,
