Book Report On Night By Elie Wiesel

The book “Night” by Elie Wiesel is about how Elie and his father’s experience in the concentrations and how they survived the Holocaust. He tells us how everyone was treated, what they ate, how they slept, what he seen, how people acted, and how things worked inside the camp. He mainly talks about his experiences from start to finish. The men started out lively and faithful but ending up losing all faith. In the beginning of them book the Germans had not made it to their town but they had heard about them. All of the Jews seemed to be hopeful and open minded towards the Germans. When the Germans had showed up they brought chocolates and were nice to them. The Jews still fasted, prayed, and were happy living their everyday lives. Everyone

Many people took clothing and family photos. The Germans had taken all of their valuable items. Some people had buried them but others had them taken away. The journey to the camp was horrible. People were loaded up animals and given little to nothing to eat and drink. Many people got very sick on the way to the camp. Once there families got split up. Men and boys went to one side and women and girls or very young children went to another side. Many people were so upset being split up and they were heartbroken. People held on strongly to their faith and to what they had left from their homes. Elie told us about how they were forced to strip down to nothing and told to go shower. They got to keep their belts and shoes as long as their shoes weren’t new. They got a set of clothes thrown at them to wear and sent off to their jobs. Elie luckily got an easy job in an electric depot. He sorted things and his father worked alongside of him. They prayed to their God and tried to keep their faith even though it started to become shaky. The men worked everyday and got very little to eat and sleep. They were all tired and starting to become sick. They got beaten and treated like they were nothing. Their faith was breaking and their will to live was

They noticed roll call was taking longer than normal but then a man was brought up in front of them of them and hung. The German’s wanted to strike fear in the Jews. They made everyone walk right in front of the hung man and look him in the face. Many of the men almost couldn’t do it. The beatings had continued and the men were losing faith in everything. A while later they had another hanging. This time it was two grown men and a young boy. The was called the Sad Eyed Angel. He was loved by everyone. They men had died instantly but the young boy was light that it had taken thirty minutes to forty five minutes. They made everyone look at the young boy as he struggled to stay alive. A guy in the crowd had yelled hout asking where God was and to have mercy on all of them. Elie had basically lost all faith in that moment and said that God had died when the little boy had died. The Jews had lost faith in anything good happening to them anytime soon. They took the beatings and every other cruel and inhuman thing happening to them and work their hearts out. Elie’s foot had become swelled and he was unable to work or even walk on it. He went to the doctor and ended up having surgery on it. The front had become closer to where his camp was so they would either move with the camp and live or stay in the little hospital that they had and possibly be rescued or killed. Elie and his father left. The men were forced
