Elie Wiesel's memoir Night is a deeply moving and haunting account of his experiences as a Jewish teenager during the Holocaust. In his writing, Wiesel employs a range of rhetorical strategies to convey the emotional impact of the Holocaust on the reader. Two of the most powerful strategies he uses are tone and imagery. Through his tone of sadness, anger, and despair, Wiesel creates a connection between the reader and the horrors of the Holocaust. Meanwhile, his use of vivid and haunting imagery works to create a visceral and unforgettable image of life in the concentration camps.

Confessing how the child he keeps mentioning is him, and how sad he is to know that child is still scared and hopeless in that time of situation where he was not able to do anything. He had to stand there and watch every piece of memory be destroyed by the nazis, creating an empathetic wave over the people who were listening to him speak. “This is what I say to the young Jewish boy wondering what I have done with his years. It is in His name that I speak to you and that I express to you my deepest gratitude. No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night.”

Elie Wiesel, a Jew from a small town in the Carpatian Mountains, lived to tell the story of this harsh reality. The Holocaust was, to put it lightly, genocide of a major religion. Nazi Germany aimed to wipe Jews from the face of the Earth, in order to “solve all Germany’s problems.”

We know it could not have taken place had the Jewish state been established a few years earlier,” the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said in 1998, standing amid the ruins of an Auschwitz-Birkenau crematory. He had just led Mr. Kushner and thousands of other teenagers waving Israeli flags in a procession through the camp’s gates and past the barracks.

Additionally, this theme shows up a lot and is explained in little words which include the feeling and description of this. We also see fear and how all of this affects the Jews in a very serious way. How they couldn’t go a day without living in fear of being captured, sent away, and killed/ gassed. Madageline Stein shows this in more than one way by asking herself and us why they are being discriminated against over their religion. How the Germans are moving them as they please just to end up killing them and abusing them to the point where they lose their dignity.

Stack does this by highlighting the role Israeli policies such as restrictions on food aid as well as the blockade have impacted the health and nutrition of Gaza’s population. This was a method that allowed the author to highlight the man-made nature of this crisis. However, while the article focuses on the Israeli policies as a primary factor contributing to the crisis, I believe that a wider-lensed analysis could help the reader grasp a better understanding of the economic, political, and social factors that are also shaping the situation in Gaza. In addition to critiquing Israeli policies, Stack also raised important questions about the international response to the crisis, more specifically the response from the United States. Stack goes on to emphasize the failure of the Biden administration to address the humanitarian crisis as well as its decision to withhold funding from the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) “...the Biden administration shares moral responsibility.

The Holocaust leaves a deep scar on every survivor’s heart, and the damage could not be undone. But if Jewish people keep sinking into the sorrow, they can never escape the cage of the trauma of the Holocaust. By explicating Linus Steinman’s characteristics, the process of working through and to be welcomed by the non-Jews in The Final Solution, Michael Chabon elucidates that the present Jewish people need not isolate themselves from the society. They can also have the process of healing so that they could have a better and more hopeful life instead of living miserably and pathetically. And also, as long as they are willing to open their heart to others, there are so many non-Jews willing to accompany and help them overcome what they suffer.

Through examining how both Arabs and Israelis interacted with the city of Jerusalem from 1948-1967 it is evident that how each side felt about the city was essential in defining the nature of the conflict. The conflict that embroiled Jerusalem in bitter fighting in 1948 and 1967 was ultimately driven by the belief that both the Arabs and Israelis had an inalienable right to the city of Jerusalem. Consequently neither side was willing to capitulate any territory to the other in order to achieve peace, ultimately furthering the conflict until the Israelis were able to win out militarily. The clash of beliefs between the two sides is illustrated by the tensions and disputes that continued even after an armistice was reached in 1949. In their administration
