A. Elie Wiesel lived in a small town called Sighet. Living in the ghetto, there were many restrictions. Jews were not allowed to leave their homes as they pleased and were forced to wear yellow stars. Besides the limitations, he loved his community. Throughout the day, he practiced Talmud, which were common with Jews. At night, he went out to the synagogue and cried over the Temple’s destruction. Moshe the Beadle was a poor guy who worked at the tabernacle. In the beginning of his lifetime, Mr. Wiesel were dedicated to the traditional Jewish creed. B. Elie and his father had a fluctuating relationship. In the beginning of the story, the father and son’s connection was almost non-existent because his dad ran a shop and was a leader in the community. He seemed to have more time for everybody else rather than his own family. Throughout the story, their experience at the concentration camps caused them to have a stronger bond. C. Elie wanted to study cabbala, but his father told him that he was too young to engage in such a dangerous activity. With no support from his father, he took it upon himself to do it anyway and met a guy name Moshe the …show more content…
From May to July, many Jews were deported. These numbers were continually expanding. Before long enough, all Jews were extradited from those particular nations. Those ones that stayed had secreted, proceeded as a slave by the work they performed, were baptized, or required a diversified race crew. “From the middle of May through to the first part of July, more than 430,000 Jews were deported from Hungary --- a process reported through statistics by Ferenczy to the Interior Minister as he moved around the country overseeing mass deportations” (Cole 105). “Just over a week later, he noted that this figure had almost doubled, with 184,049 Jews deported in fifty-eight trains by midday on 28, May with another thirty-five trains ‘ready to deport 110,000 of the remaining Jews’ in the VIII, IX, and X gendarmerie districts” (Cole
The people of Transylvania were receiving many signs that the Holocaust was coming. It was just the beginning and after being taken away, their lives were forever changed. They chose not to believe it and ended up going through it all. Moishe the Beadle also explains what is going to occur and what happened to him and little by little, edicts were placed upon them. Once they were sent to the ghettos, there was no way to escape.
A couple years later, Germans occupied Hungary and were deporting Jews to concentration
The relationship was seemed to be non-existent. Although the relationship between the two was little Elie still admired his father, following footsteps and helping and learning as much as possible. Till one unfortunately things were about to escalate to a whole new level. One day Elie has found himself someone who calls himself Moshe the Beadle. Unfortunately Moshe has been deported and when he returned
Under Adolph Hitler´s rule, the Nazi German Army took anyone what was different from them. Whether it was because of their religion or culture. This lead to what we call the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel and his family were Jewish they were just one of the many families that were taken to the concentra camps. Elie Wiesel talks about his experiences in the book Night.
Brenden Sampson Ms. Bauer English Language Arts Period 1 15 March 2023 Jan Karski If it was not for Jan Karski, the world may, have not known what the Nazis were doing to Jews. January 30th, 1933, the holocaust started. Nazis and there allies had more then 44,000 death camps and ghettos. They were torturing and killing Jews.
There were many struggles that Elie Wiesel had to face, and the first would be that his family was separated from him. The German separated his mom and sisters away from him and his father. Wiesel had to watch his father die in front of him, and many other people too. Elie could not do anything to help his father, and did not have the power to assist others too. Wiesel responded by staying positive, and encouraged himself when all hope seemed to be
Over 6 million innocent Jews lost their lives due to one man’s greed for power and satisfaction. This horrific event caused many people to be filled with hopelessness, tribulation, and adversity. In the book, “Night”, Elie’s identity was completely altered since the beginning to the end. His faith went from growing stronger every day, to gradually ceasing to exist. Everything that mattered most to him was slowly evaporating away during this life-changing catastrophe.
In the final moments of Elie’s father’s life, Elie has no faith remaining in his father whatsoever. This is shown through Elie’s cruel thoughts, letting the SS beat his father because his father is creating so much noise. The traumatic experience of being near life and death at the hands of an SS guard causes whatever faith Elie had in his father to completely disappear. Elie’s humanity is not present. Wiesel shows the deterioration of the relationship through the descriptions about his father.
This differs from the deportation of Jews in the Holocaust because Germans did not immediately kill them. They just isolated them in places such as ghettos, and later concentration camps like
Through all his suffering and pain in the concentration camp, Elie learned that he has the strength to stay loyal to his father who has been holding him back from surviving. The concentration camp was brutal mentally and physically. Many people were having trouble keeping themselves alive much more their family. People without the strength to stay loyal would abandon their loved ones for their own benefit. In the camp, when Elie and his dad were just waiting to die, they were slowly losing hope of ever truly living again.
Both cities were condensed into just a few blocks; people were forced to leave their homes to move into the ghetto. Because of a lack of housing, the ghettos were crowded; many homes contained multiple families. Upon entering the ghettos, all Jews were forced to register again. By registering the Jews and forcing them into a confined space, the Nazis knew the number of Jews and their location when deportation came. However, the people in the ghettos did not know the intentions of the Nazi officials.
World War II had been raging for two years and was bout to enter Sighet. The Germans attempted to commit genocide on the 'lesser ' races, particularly Jews. Through the brutality witnessed, acts of selfishness, the death of his father, and the loss of his faith, Elie changed. Elie became a young man with a strong sense of mortality through it all. By the end of the war, Elie claimed to see himself as "A corpse contemplating me."
Eliezer, being a Hungarian Jew was one of the millions of Jews targeted. Throughout his journey,
Elie shows this through the story when he writes about himself at just 15 years old wanting to be with his dad, when he wrote about Rabbi Eliahu, and when he wrote about his mother and sisters. One of the ways Elie showed the theme of the book was when he didn't leave his father's side during the entire book. “The ss officers were doing the selection the weak to the left those who walked well to the right. My father was sent to the left. I ran after him...”
