Eliezer Changes for the Worse Nelson Mandela once said, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” This quote applies to Eliezer because everything that he experienced during the Holocaust seemed impossible. Elie Wiesel’s Night tells the story of a young boy named Eliezer who arrives at Auschwitz and goes through many tough challenges. Eliezer changed for the worse because he lost his faith, saw many horrifying things at a young age, and lost his whole family. Early on in Night, Eliezer lost his mother and his sister, Tzipora. It made Eliezer very depressed and he felt like there was not a point of him living. Eliezer said, “I didn’t know this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever.”
