Examples Of Dehumanization In The Book Night

“ I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it. I believe in God even when he is silent. Believing in the Holocaust is a sign of strength. If they were not believing it wasn’t gonna make the pain and struggle easier. The more the believe the more they pushed on to finish, to keep going to be able to survive. A strong example to show the horrific pain and the acts of humans that we has people can’t believe is the book Night by Elie Wiesel. He is one of the many little of holocaust survivers, but he made a strong book that will and did help people remember the act that changed a big part in history. The holocaust was during around the 1940s in Germany and Portland in concentration camps. But there

During the train ride to the first camp, Mr.S who was a lady who had a son, she was acting crazy and the other prisoner were annoyed and beat her sensely.” Once again, the young men bound and gagged her. When they actually struck her people shouted their approval:”Keep her quite!”(Wiesel) This is example shows dehumanzation because these prisoner come from the same place and religion as Mr.S and they don’t have a little mercy for her. They didn’t care to realize that her son was there watching, and he couldn’t do anything to help her. Another exampl is the ss doctors pick and choose people to see whois weak and who’s strong enough to be a good working, if they are weak they are selected to be cremated.” In a few moments, selection will take place. You will have to undress… Don’t walk slowly, run! Run as if you had the devil at your heels!”(Wiesel) This example shows that people who didn’t look strong enough or who acted that way were selected to be cremated alive. Cremating someone alive is a strong example of dehmanzation because the people know they can’t do anything to stop them. One last example is when everyone was on the train to get to the last camp which was Aushwitz, and most prisoners died so the other prisoners had no respect for the dead and threw them off the train like trash.” The volunteers undress him and eagerly shared his garments. Then two “gravediggers”

First during the death march all the prisoner’s were placed in the train cars, and Elie meets up with one of his friends Juliek. And he brings his violin which he holds dearly to his heart.” I thought he’d lost his mind. His vilion? Here?” What about your violin?” He was gasping:” I… I’m afraid… They’ll break… my violin… I… I brought it with me.”(Wiesel) Juliek is a little kid who was going through the Holocaust alone with his hope which was his violin. He still kept hope even though everyone else around him lost all their hope and faith. Another example towards the end of the story Elie’s father becomes weaker and starts to die slowly trying to fall asleep, but Elie is trying to keep him awake to stay alive.” I beg of you, I’m so tired… no more strength…” He had become childlike: weak, frightened, vulrerable”f father,” I said “ you cannot stay here.”(Wiesel) Elie’s father was very weak and kept going and being strong for Elie. But Elie’s father lost faith and hope an died without him still trying to survive, he gave up and just died. Lastly at the end of the book the ss had fled the camps, because they were forced out by the resistance.” The battle did not last long. Around noon, everything was calm again. The ss had fled and the resistance had taken change of the camp.”(Wiesel) This example shows that at the end the Jews saw that the army was coming
