When Elie was first imprisoned in the camp, he witnessed the burning of the bodies of children. Early in the book, Elie thinks as a result of this, “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. … Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever. …
Elie’s first observation inside Auschwitz was the horrific sight of hundreds of young children being thrown into a giant burning pit of fire. “Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky”(34). The human children were slaughtered
Elie had struggled with his relationship with God frequently throughout the book. In the beginning he practiced Kabbalah but in chapter 5 he doesn’t even want to acknowledge God’s presence. He had a complex relationship with God and he wavered in his beliefs. His relationship with God is important because we see how hardships can change someone's belief and how easy it was for him to put the blame on God. During chapter 5 it was the end of the Jewish year and the prisoners got together and prayed.
Richards story was another very powerful message. The book Night by Elie Wiesel as well as Richard’s testimony opened your eyes about what really happened. Richard was fortunate enough to go to a camp that you weren’t threatened your life. He mentioned that he never really felt like he was going to get killed, instead he just worked all day and that was that. Elie went to a concentration camp and got the worst part.
The quote depicts the symbolism of fire because of Ms.Schachter, she sees a vision of fire, and claims that this fire will eventually consume and devour everyone, and she is correct, because the Nazi’s would eventually use fire to exterminate the Jews. When Elie first enters the camp, he whiffs the scent of burning flesh, and see’s smoke coming out of the crematorium. Elie later on realized that the Nazi’s were burning young children and elderly
As the novel continues, the Germans start to treat the Jews badly to the point where they are identified using numbers instead of their real names, physically harming the Jews for any reason they could find, and forcing them to work by assigning them in certain areas for them to be at. Everything Elie had gone through caused him to lose his faith and only worry about surviving, but if there was a chance of death Elie would feel prepared. The following quote discusses the process of how the Jews got their new names tattooed. A few moments later, the SS officers called all the Jewish people's numbers to make sure they had everyone still in the Auschwitz camp. According to Wiesel, “The three “veteran” prisoners, needles in hand, tattooed numbers
“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” - Elie Wiesel Recently I read the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel which was a really touching and heartfelt and made me think about how sometimes people shouldn’t complain about what they don’t have, but be thankful for what they do have. People in our world today, don’t think or believe that the holocaust is all made up and not a real thing however, the Holocaust is something that needs to be remembered in American history. I think that this quote is saying that people sometimes just give up on things too easily instead of finding another way to do something.
Continuing on the path to the concentration camp that Elie would soon be held in contempt, he witnessed the burning alive of children and babies. Forever this memory will be scared in his mind and unforgettable. During this time in the night the SS officers and Nazi soldiers caused not only emotional pain for families like Elie’s that had been split up and physical pain for the people who were burn
Standing up has never truly been a part of our world history. People \s rights are being violated and only a few have stood up. One example of this injustice is the holocaust.

When responding to competing demands, an individual must choose which is best for their own interests, or find a way to compromise to meet both in equal amounts. Throughout the events of Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night, there are many instances of him dealing with demands that compete with each other. Many of them were life or death decisions, and all of them impacted nearly every decision he made in Auschwitz. One of his biggest conflicts was his faith and his own survival. Various instances during the events of the memoir forced Wiesel into deciding whether his faith was more important than his survival.
Memories are forged from experiences, good or bad. Some memories are so awful that they get buried deep within the back of the mind left to be forgotten, traumatic experiences like the Holocaust can create these awful memories for people, but lessons can be learned and taught to others from the memories of these experiences. It can be helpful to keep hold of these sad memories because of the opportunity to tell others stories during the traumatizing time. In “Night” Elie Wiesel retells his story about his time during the Holocaust and in the concentration camps, in the book he relives the traumatic time through his memory.
Elie Wiesel's memoir Night relates his experiences as a Jewish boy during the Holocaust. The memoir focuses on Elie's relationship with his father and how it impacts him throughout the events. Elie's connection with his father develops with time, with both positive and negative effects for him. In Elie Wiesel's memoir “Night” it can be argued that Elie and his father have an easy relationship. They form a close bond and encourage one another as they go through difficult moments in the camp.
The Holocaust can easily be defined as one of the most tragic events in history. Masses were left never knowing if death or life was ahead of them. Among the multitude of people affected by the Holocaust, was fifteen year-old Elie Wesiel. Wesiel’s memoir Night written and released in 1960 about his captivating experiences in the Holocaust. Though there were not many survivors of the Holocaust, many of them survived by finding strength through human connection whether meeting a random person in passing or finding strength in family.
When responding to situations in life, people must consider if what they are doing will benefit themselves or the people around them. In circumstances that demand quick thinking, people often can not form a concrete decision based on how little information and time they are given. In life, people must frequently try to do so through their daily battles with the people around them, in addition to themselves. People's hardships often affect what will compel them to respond, in many areas of a person's environment they are tied to certain deprivations in life, either privately or through another person. With those ties, come the understanding and compassion, these setbacks can help others gain a better insight into another person's difficulties.
