In chapter seven of Night, by Elie Wiesel, one of the most emotional scenes is shared. The Jews are being transported to a different location and the officers begin to throw bread crumbs as a sort of sick, twisted game. They enjoy watching the Jews turn on each other and maim one another just for the smallest crumb of bread. In my cartoon, the first quadrant is the scene where young Eliezer talks about the train ride and how claustrophobic everyone became due to the space provided and the amount of Jews crammed in. The next frame is of the father crawling out of the mob while our main character sat watching.
In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, there was a very strong shift in the tone just within the first three chapters. “The shopkeepers were doing good business, the students lived among their books, and the children played in the streets”(Weisel 6). It is shown here that they were living ordinary, peaceful lives. “The shadows around me roused themselves as if from a deep sleep and left silently in every direction”(Weisel 14). This is where people began to no longer feel peaceful and began the long journey of fear and worry that would get worse throughout the book.
Elie Wiesel’s “Night” depicts death, obliteration, and anguish while directly depicting the suffering he witnessed during his time at Auschwitz, a concentration camp for Jews during World War II. Within the story, there is an overwhelming amount of times the Jews had been in distress. Many children had been separated from their parents and all of the Jews were taken from their homes. Their suffering seemed endless. They were no longer teachers, homeowners, or priests.
This is demonstrated by the quotation, “Never shall I forget
The author of the Night did not understand why God punishes the innocent and righteous, who worship Him, even in the death camp, what did they do? They pray for you! Glorify your name. Wiesel openly expressed his hatred for God, was not afraid. He thought that after what happened in Auschwitz, the religious dimension of Jewish identity completely lost its meaning.
At what point does respect no longer matter? When does the need for survival take over grief? When do the tears dry up in order to stay alive?
Have you ever thought about how it would feel to be in a concentration camp during the Holocaust? The book Night written by Elie Wiesel, it is about a 16 year old named Eliezer.

Life is full of good and bad experiences, but you don’t always have control of what happens. That can be scary sometimes and it depends on how you handle it as to whether you get out of that situation. In the memoir Night written by Elie Wiesel, Eli, a teenager had been taken away from his home and taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Night is the scary record of Elie Wiesel’s memories of the death of his own family and the death of his own innocence as he tries to fight his way out of the concentration camp. Over the course of the book, Eli changes from a believer in God living in bearable conditions to someone who has become profane because of the situation he’s been put in.
Silenced Night came quickly as we headed on our way home walking through a dark, silent street. The chilly weather outside made the nights here unbearable. It was so cold I felt like an icicle( hyperbole). This was the usual weather in London.
Memory and history have always shared a part in creating an individuals perception of themselves, their lives, and of their importance. The Holocaust was a mass murder of millions that took place in the mid 1940’s, that changed the lives of so many. ("The Holocaust") Night, is a memoir by Elie Wiesel that describes his experience as a teenager struggling to survive in concentration camps during the Holocaust. (Wiesel, 2006)
I think Wiesel achieved “to leave behind a legacy of words, of memories, to help prevent history from repeating itself” (vii). Night did leave a legacy of words and memories because it is a frequently read book, especially because it is part of some high schools’ curriculum and it leaves readers with a deeper understanding of what the Holocaust was and how it was perceived through the Jew’s perspective. I think it could also be powerful enough to avoid something like this from happening in the future. Night explains what it was like to be a Jew during the Holocaust.
Hope is what we do to desire something we want. Hope is the most important theme in Night because Elie has to have hope in the camps to survive and get out. In Night Elie had hope to desire god to help him and the Russians to save them. Elie hoped that someone will come to save him and that times in the camp would get better. Elie had hope that he would survive in the camps.
The horrors of war can change even the kindest of individuals, reshaping them in drastic ways.

Night provides the grueling suffering that Elie experiences in the war leading to his human losses; the loss of faith, the loss of sanity, and the loss of emotion Elie Wiesel discusses the existence of god in a world in which death is a common occurrence which makes Elie ponder the existence of god which he admires.
