Examples Of Injustice In The By Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel once said, “What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, by the silence of the bystander”. This quote means that being put through something so horrific as the holocaust concentration camps was not the worst part of the holocaust, but rather that people knew what was going on but never took action to stop this tragic event. The injustice of the people, mostly Jews, who had to go through the process of leaving everything behind and starting a new life where they were forced to work together in very unstable conditions is something that can never be payed back. This injustice lead to more than just the time and lives that we can't get back, it lead to dehumanization of innocent woman, children, men, elders, and

He explains the ups and downs of his childhood, and then he starts to explain the tragedies he faced and how that got him where he is today. Wiesel was a young Jewish boy when the whole war began. He was living with his Mother, Father, and three sisters. Then everything started to change. Wiesel explained in the documentary that all of the Jews were forced to wear the Star of David on their clothes indicating that they were Jewish. This form of injustice was just the start of all the atrocities that were soon to come. At this time Jews still had many rights with the exceptions of some things, but they were now treated as less superior than others because they had this marking on their clothes. Little did people know that this injustice would lead to the deaths of their neighbors that they once knew and loved. Another injustice that Wiesel mentioned in this documentary was that all of the Jews were rounded up like animals while the soldiers verbally and physically abused them. The way the Jews were rounded up was almost as if the soldiers were treating them like zoo animals, and they needed to be rounded up and contained. No person should be treated like an animal, they should be treated like a human no matter the circumstance. These two events were key parts in the documentary that showed that the nazis treated the Jews with such injustice that it lead to them dehumanizing these innocent

This documentary is one of the toughest videos to ever watch. It shows the more than dreadful images of prisoners, and the horrid conditions that they endured. Images sometimes were more tough to swallow than others, words were more touching than some, but more than anything the pain in the prisoner's eyes is what set the feeling of pure terror in someone's heart. One piece of evidence collected from this documentary is the camps were made specifically for the Jews which later lead to the Jews being completely wiped out. This premeditated action of making the concentration camps was so disturbing that it lead to the holocaust killings over 11 million innocent lives. No reason will ever be enough to dehumanize a living being until the point where someone has the right to take away their life. Another piece of evidence was when the nazis killed the Jews later leading to their bodies being thrown around almost like trash that they just need to get rid of. This injust of killing Jews lead to the more than offsetting feeling one gets after seeing dehumanized bodies being plowed over by a tractor. No matter the circumstance, no matter the situation, no matter any problem someone has with another never can result in the dehumanizing actions that make someone else's life so miserable they are better off dead than
