A human is not capable of discerning the right from the wrong while going through an extreme struggle such as the Holocaust. Their sense of morality is overpowered by their need of survival. This is seen is Elie Wiesel’s book, “Night”. Wiesel states, “She received several blows to the head, blows that could have been lethal. Her son was clinging desperately to her, not uttering a word” (26). Wiesel describes a situation he observed when on his way to the concentration camp in a tight rail cart. A woman, devastated by the events that had occurred, was screaming about the fire she was hallucinating. Her fellow Jews thought of their own survival and the survival of the family first when they beat the woman to keep her quiet and not draw attention
