The last passage in the book, on page 115, stood out to me the most. Elie Wiesel describes the first time he looks at himself in the mirror since he was in the ghetto, and he is stunned by what he sees. This passage highlights how severely the Holocaust affected Elie, as well as millions of other Jews. It had not only separated Elie from his family, who he would never see again, but it stripped him of his humanity. Before the war, and even in the ghetto, Elie had hope, his family, his faith, and his innocence. The concentration camps took all of this away from him. The will to survive overshadowed everything else, pitting man against man, and father against son. Everyday was a fight for survival, and the only person Elie could rely on was himself.
