I agree with you. I also believe that the townspeople remain complacent despite hearing hints and whispers that the German army is approaching in the first chapter of Night by Elie Wiesel, because the townspeople of Sighet, Transylvania do not believe that the rumors and hints of the German army coming will become a reality. After Moishe the Beadle returns to Sighet, he strives to warn the town about the way he was poorly treated and how he barely came back alive. Moishe elucidates¨ Why do you want people to believe you so much?
The memoir entitled “Night” is the story of the fight for survival. It’s Elie Wiesel’s story of his fight to survive along with his fellow Jews in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. Elie’s personal account of this story is both heart wrenching and effective. Hearing Elie’s personal anguish brings the story to life. It’s the story of how people can survive with the barest of means.
Elie s origin for his perseverance was his father. After being taken away by the officers, Elie and his father had to go to camp with each other. They went and were going through tough times, but Elie said, My hand tightened its grip on my father. All I could think of was not to lose him. Not to remain alone (Wiesel 30).
The Jews are treated cruely and are forced to be shaved and stripped out of their clothes. They are transferred over to Auschwitz, the main camp, and are put to work in a work camp, Buna, and there, Elie is put to work in an electrical-fittings factory. At the camp, the Jews are treated inhumanely, and are seen as slaves. They are malnourished, overworked, and are forced to live under poor living conditions, with little blankets and clothes. On a daily basis, the Jews are seen as targets that the Nazi's could beat, neglect, and often killed.
This story shows that the tone is cruel, angry, and very honest. It’s surprising how cruel and honest it is. The cruelty and anger are tied together because once the cruelty happens so does the anger. Eventually the honesty comes along to join the party. I think the tone of this story is cruel because these Jews are being tortured to the point that Elie had to go to the infirmary because his feet were frozen.

Victims of the Holocaust demonstrated finding light in the darkness by practicing their religion, comforting and consoling one another, and masking the truth. Jews practiced their religion during the Holocaust instead of giving it up. In the text, Prisoner B-3087, the author states, “But suddenly I thought standing in a minyan for somebody’s Bar Mitzvah as the most important thing in the world,” (Gratz 269). This is an example of how Jews practiced their religion because he is continuing to practice his religion and help others practice theirs.
