Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel born September 30, 1928 in the land of Sighet, Transylvania. Eliezer had three sisters, two that were older and one younger. The name of Adolf Hitler has taken over Germany and started the Holocaust, jews lives and the way they live will be changed. Elie had to overcome, the death of his mother, grandmother and his three sisters, he had to try and live through starvation when they were in the camps, and to see his father being beat to death by a german officer. These actions and memories made Elie Wiesel more mature when he is older.
One thing that helped Elie Wiesel survive throughout the Holocaust was the importance of religion. On page 4, Elies's father “wanted to drive the idea of studying Kabbalah from my mind”. Elie was
The holocaust makes physical and mental alterations to Elie’s life, and this tells the reader that the people who did this are effective and impacting, also it shows that Elie’s mind is controlled by what he was experiencing.

Before Elie was shipped to the concentration camp he would spend his time studying Jewish mysticism, “One evening, I told him how unhappy I was not to be able to find in Sighet a master to teach me the Zohar, the Kabbalistic works, the secrets of Jewish mysticism. ”(Wiesel, 5) he once had a love for his race before war changed his mind. Elie believed that if God answered him everything would be ok but when he did not, “Never shall i forget those flames that consumed my faith forever….. Never shall i forget those moments that murdered God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes….Never.” He even prayed to God even when he did not believe he was there.
His entire family passed away during this time. However, he had grown so much through this that he chose to spend the rest of his life fighting to prevent another Holocaust like event from occurring. He gave speeches, wrote essays and novels, and became one of the most well known advocates for human rights. He provided many educational tools for us to use to teach the next generation about the monstrosities that he lived though.

When Elie saw what was happening to good people and wondered how these things could happen to innocent people, he lost faith in God. God permitted these things to happen to innocent people.

Elie Wiesel was a teenager that grew up in Sighet, Transylvania, who was taken from his home, along with his family, to a concentration camp in Auschwitz and then later moved to Buchenwald in 1944. In the camps, Elie had to survive the hardships and cruelty of the Holocaust. There were three main things that focused on survival, food, family, and most importantly, faith. Food seems to be the key to survival, but in reality it killed more people than it saved. During an air raid, some cauldrons of soup were left unattended.
Surviving Death World War II began on September 1, 1939. Hitler believed that because of the Jewish population, Germany lost World War I. Hitler also believed that the only way to restore Germany and as well as avoid losing was by torturing and killing Jews. Hitler's inhumanity towards the Jews was the cause of this mass murder that killed 11 million innocent people. About six million out of eleven million Jews were killed. This was later called the Holocaust.

Elie Wiesel was born and raised in Sighet, a town in northern Romania. Elie Wiesel was 13 when he wanted to learn the kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism. As a young boy, Elie is very religious and wants to study the kabbalah with his father, but his father says he's too young and refuses to teach him.

During World War II, the Nazis destroyed millions of people’s lives including the life of a Jewish boy named Eliezer Wiesel. He was just 15 years old when the Nazis took him and his family from their home and forced them to live in the concentration camp, Auschwitz. During Elie’s stay at Auschwitz, he experiences unimaginable pain. He suffers through starvation, hypothermia, mental abuse, physical abuse, and worst of all he watches his father die.

Fast forward to 1944 of May, Elie was 15 and was sent to a camp in Auschwitz which lies the death of 6 million Jews. He gave a brief description in his book Night of his first night in the camp, “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed
