In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie states he himself condemns apathy and ignorance as the greatest of sins because a lack of compassion and knowledge produces a false sense of security and creates inaction against the kind of war crimes rampant in Hitler’s regime. I agree with this statement because the guards stationed at the camps lacked empathy and awareness which resulted in inaction. I consider this to be sinful because for acts such as the holocaust we cannot turn a blind eye. I agree with his statement because many guards stationed at the camps were apathetic and ignorant which resulted in inaction. My first example from the book is when the guards began to round up the jewish families from their ghetto in Sighet and put
This story was meant to stop another holocaust from happening and the world turning against one another and starting another war. If this book had not been writin and the other stories about the holocaust then the world might not be as it is right now. The world might be under war or it might be completely split up and everyone not caring about what is happening in the other countries and there being another holocaust. If there were other holocaust then the world would no longer be safe and there would be war everywhere.
Elie is a very religious person in Chapter 1 of Night. According to page 4, Elie wants to find a master who could guide him in his studies of Kabbalah even though his father does not want him to study it. He went out of his way to find someone who could teach him and was unhappy when he could not find a master according to page 5. That shows that he is very interested in learning and wants to understand the secrets of Jewish mysticism. Page 4 also told us that Elie cries when he pray, Elie said “I cried because… because something inside me felt the need to cry.”
In Elie Wiesel’s Night, dehumanization is one of the key themes. Experiencing dehumanization is by far a horrible way to live. Being hit and treated like an animal is what Elie Wiesel, his father and the other Jews experienced. Even though this happened some time ago, it got me thinking how often does this happen today? Many people can still experience this, women especially.
1. The character the best exemplifies the theme of ‘prejudice’ in the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel would have to be Eliezer himself. As evidence, Eliezer, knowing how strong the connection between a father and son is, told two lies in order to protect the spirit of innocence that was deep within each father. Knowing how horribly each boy had passed, telling the truth in such a situation would worsen it. Conclusively, only one of the men had found out what truly happened to his son, but never again would he share the gift of speech with Eliezer.
Lack of Humanity, Loss of Identity In Elie Wiesel’s “Night”, Elie begins the novel living a normal life in the small town of Sighet in Transylvania. He lives with a family of six, with his mother, father, and three sisters. The story picks up quickly after the Nazis move in, first taking away the town’s rights to own any gold, jewelry, or any valuables, then no longer have the right to restaurants, cafes, synagogues, or to even travel by rail. Soon the town of Sighet then came the ghettos. It was prohibited from leaving their homes after six o 'clock in the evening.
Night has revealed to me the immensity of the suffering and ruthlessness that Jews were subjected to on daily basis during the holocaust in an emotional and moving first-hand experience. I choose a train, symbol of oppression, to represent the initial separation from a normal life in which everyone inside the crowded train car received, along with a taste of the pain and suffering that was soon to be forced upon them. I choose this quote to show how shocking mentally and physically the transition phase was from a normal life to that of the oppressed and to emphasize how easily he gave up in the beginning. Despite this, he managed to persevere and overcome the enormous challenges of surviving in a concentration camp.
Throughout Night, dehumanization consistently took place as the tyrant Nazis oppressed the Jewish citizens. The Nazis targeted the Jews' humanity, and slowly dissolved their feeling of being human. The feeling of dehumanization was very common between the jews. They were constantly being treated as in they were animals. The author and narrator Elie Wiesel, personally experienced being treated like an animal
Elie Wiesel, author and victim of the Holocaust wrote the novel Night which portrays his experiences in the Holocaust. During the Holocaust the Nazis dehumanized many groups of people, but primarily the Jewish people. Elie writes about his personal journey through the Holocaust, and how he narrowly escaped death. In Elie’s novel he also provides detailed descriptions of what the victims of the Holocaust had to suffer through, and the different ways the Nazis made them feel like nothing more than animals that are meant to be used for work and slaughtered. One of the first things that Elie and the other Jewish people from his village have to suffer through is riding in a cramped cattle car, as if they were animals.
In the book Night there was a lot of racism toward the jews, the disabled and others. Racism is something that's been around for many years and still hasn't changed. Many people’s lives have changed from racism but not for the better. A lesson to be learned about racism is that nothing ever comes out good about it will either hurt
In a span of 10 years, the Holocaust killed over 7 million people, that’s just as much as the population of Hong Kong. In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel shares his experience on how he survived the Holocaust and what he went through. How he dealt with the horrors and even to how he felt of his dad’s death and how he saw himself after it was all over. As he tried to publish it he was constantly turned down due to the fact of how horrid and truful it was. He still tried and tried until it was finally published.
Jonah Wright English II Mrs. M. Scott February 21, 2023 Dehumanization of the Jews in Night Dehumanization is the denial of full humaneness in others and the cruelty and suffering that accompanies it. Throughout the book Night by Elie Wiesel, these accounts of dehumanization, starvation, and deprivation are shown. In the year 1944, The SS Officers transported the people of Sighet to a concentration camp called Auschwitz. There at Auschwitz was a form of punishment for the Jews, they experienced physical and mental torture identity loss and denial of food and water. These cruel treatments led to the dehumanization of the Jews which is exactly what Hitler planned.
