    Elie's Relationship With His Father Analysis

    When you and your family are all forced into a death camp, separated, and treated as subhuman, you tend to protect the only ones you love enough to risk your life for. In the camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau, one teenager and his father find themselves in exactly that dilemma, starving and with only each other to rely on. Elie Wiesel, a child thrown into these camps with his father, miraculously survived and went on to write about his experiences and struggles, most notably in his memoir Night. This book shows what really happened behind the scenes of Nazi Germany during World War 2, things that would not be revealed for years to come. And more specifically, it shows how Elie's relationships to his father and to the…

    5.04 Holocaust

    I was sitting with my family at the breakfast table drinking milk and eating a piece of burnt toast; that was when I heard the feint sound of sirens coming from the east end of the block. My dads face grew pale and my mother quickly stood up and grabbed my brother and mines hand. She guided us towards the back of the house through a small opening in the floor. Once we reached the hole, she took my brothers hand and placed it in mine, telling him to watch over me. We were put into the hole and she kissed our heads, then covered the little light we had with a rug. I started to panic, unaware of the destruction and persecution that lay before me on a silver platter. We spent a week in that ditch, although it had felt like a lifetime. All the while, I thought of my parents: where had they gone; would they soon return? One day while we were there, with cramps building up in my legs, I heard footsteps coming from above my head. My brother hoping it was our parents returning to save us from the forever darkness that we faced slid the rug over and peered up with squinting eyes. The rough man standing above us, however, was not our father, but a man I would soon come to know as, Nazi soldier. The reasons of our taking were not because of crime, but because of my ethnicity, the way I looked, the way I spoke, and even my religion.…

    Night - Theme Paragraph

    In the story, ‘Night’, author Elie Wiesel shares his most personal experiences during the Holocaust, during which he lost his family and many friends. As a young man, Eliezer’s faith in humanity and religion is shattered following the unparalleled evil perpetrated by the German’s against the Jews. In the year 1944, at the young age of fifteen, Eliezer and his family were taken from their home to the Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald where they endured unimaginable cruelty at the hands of the Germans. Eliezer and his townsmen are packed into cattle cars, with barley room to stand and suffer terribly. When Eliezer arrives in Auschwitz, he is greeted by his first selection. He and his father follow the line that passes a pit of burning babies. Elie writes “Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never” (pg. 34). Over the following months at Auschwitz, Eliezer and his father endured inhumane treatment and living conditions within the camps. The prisoners are forced to run 42 kilometers in a blizzard following evacuation from Buna. For those who could not keep up, the SS had orders to shoot anyone who could not sustain the pace. “Their fingers on the triggers, they did not deprive themselves of the pleasure” (pg. 85). Upon their arrival at Buchenwald, Eliezer's father is unable to move. Eliezer brings him soup and coffee, against the advice of other prisoners who counsel him to keep it for himself. Eliezer's father, suffering from dysentary, begs for water. An SS guard becomes annoyed and knocks him in the head. Eliezer wakes up the next morning and discovers his father's empty bed. He is more relieved than sad.…

    Why The Holocaust Was Bad

    It’s simple to say that the Holocaust was bad. I don’t think it was third grade and I already knew that. In A Good Day from Survival in Auschwitz, an autobiography by Primo Levi, and Night, an autobiography by Elie Wiesel, I learned the very different first-hand experiences of two young men who dealt with persecution from the Nazi Officers, during the time of the Holocaust. Now although these stories are very different, in truth, they both share similarities as well.…

    Night - Dehumanization of the Jews

    One of the saddest aspects of the Holocaust was not how many lives were lost, but how many souls were lost. Those lucky enough to survive Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and the like came out changed men and women, and not for the better. While some, such as Elie Wiesel, were able to contribute to the world and keep alive the memory of the victims of the Holocaust, many left the experience shells; shadows of their former selves. So much had changed during their time in the concentration camps and they had lost so much of their dignity and identity.…

    Isolation In Concentration Camps In Night, By Elie Wiesel

    Imagine yourself being trapped in a small metal box that gradually constricts your body. It squeezes you until your very being caves in and you breathe one’s last. This is how isolation in concentration camps transforms your tranquil soul into a raving madman. Night, a memoir by holocaust survivor and professor, Elie Wiesel, paints the horrors of isolation and how its knives will carve away your flesh and hope until there’s nothing but a vile corpse. In order to avoid the assured effects of this ‘solitary confinement’ in the concentration camps, having loved ones were beneficial because they needed one another to talk to, keep each other strong, and predominantly to keep each other sane.…
