The memoir “Night” by Elie Wiesel describes the author’s past being of Jewish during the Holocaust and the changes Wiesel faces. Throughout the memoir, Wiesel’s religious zeal changes due to the Nazi’s imprisonment of the author at many concentration camps. In the beginning Wiesel is very eager to learn about religion like Kabbalah and Talmud. For example, Wiesel asks his father “One day I asked my father to find me a master who could guide me in my studies of Kabbalah” (Wiesel 4). In other words, Wiesel is very interested in religious affairs and mysticism at an early age of 13. This is significant because Wiesel is a boy who craves the knowledge that religions provide which fuels him to search and become deeply affiliated with religions.
