Riley Kline ENG II Honors Mrs. Degrood 2/6/23 An estimated 6 million Jews murdered during Hitler's reign, as part of his plan to eradicate the Jewish population. Elie Wiesal writes a book describing his experiences while in these death camps. In these camps Elie was put through many trials and tribulations, including losing his father. Throughout the book, the prisoners are deprived of basic needs according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
The book ¨Night¨ is written by a Holocaust survivor and and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Elie Wiesel, who went through terrible things during his time in German captivity. The events were unforgettable and life changing. He stayed with his father through all of these tough times. He escaped the terror of the Holocaust turning him into a savage even though it caused attacks from prisoners and insanity.
Elie Wiesel was a writer known for his memoir Night, in which he recounted his experiences for surviving the Holocaust. He was born on September 30, 1928 in Romania. During his early life, Elie Wiesel pursued Jewish religious studies before his family was sent to the Nazi death camps during WWII. Wiesel and his father were forced to work under inhumane conditions in Buna Werke labor camp. Then, they were forced to march to Buchenwald where his father died after being beaten.
Red Cross – Prisoners of War's Last Hope Life in concentration camps were at the very least, excruciating and painful. One organization that stepped up to help life while in camps was the Red Cross. Within the book Night by Elie Wiesel and the "World War II – Prisoners of War – Stalag Luft I" which are diary entries by Lt. Robert R. Swartz explain what life was like in concentration camps and what helped them survive. The book written by Jean-Claude Favez, The Red Cross and the Holocaust, explain the little action the Red Cross took to stop the Holocaust. The Red Cross, was for the most part, what kept prisoners' hopes high, yet could have prevented the Holocaust before it was too late by simply speaking up.
Have you ever wondered what it is like to be in a concentration camp,or what it is like to be a Jew while Hitler is starting to take control over you and your family? Hitler's number one thing that he wanted to do was kill all Jews. In the book Night, Nazis gradually reduced the Jews to nothing more than things because they hated all Jews. In Night, the author Elie Wiesel tells about his experiences in a concentration camp. Many of the experiences Elie shared with the readers of this book explains how the Nazis dehumanized his father, his fellow Jews and himself.
Night by Elie Wiesel is an autobiographical retelling of the horrific memories of the Holocaust. In the beginning of the book, Elie and his family are held captive in their home located in Sighet, which is in the ghettos. The ghettos are a place of waiting before they go to the concentration camps. Elie and his family are last leave.
“If we held a minute of silence for everyone that lost their life in the Holocaust, we would be silent for eleven years” - Unkown. Elie Wiesel decided to write about his experiences during the Holocaust resulting in the book Night. Elie was one of 11 million people that were targeted. From 1933 to 1945 millions of Jewish people were dehumanized and treated like everything but a human being. After the Holocaust, it was discovered that 6 million Jews were killed.
The book Night is based on a true story; it is based on the Holocaust and Elie Wiesel, who is a survivor of the Holocaust. It is important not to forget about the Holocaust because it was a horrific time when Jews were tortured. Jews should not have been tortured in such an unforgivable way. They were just normal people and did not hurt anyone. Elie tells his story about how the Nazi officers took him and his family from their houses and separated him from his mother and sister.
Just imagine that you lost everything in just one night. You had to give everything up, leaving all your belongings behind and even your house. Who knows for how many years when all of them will be back, if some of them do back it. Maybe one day they would be reunited with all their family ,their house and all your belongings. In the book Night, the main character is Elie Wiesel and in Between Shades of Gray the main character is Lina.
You may think about how to fight indifference or maybe you don’t. Either way there is a responsible way to help solve indifference. I think in the face of indifference the responsible way to approach indifference is to take your time researching and not spreading false information and taking action. Having the correct research will increase your ethos which is a good thing to have.
The book that I will be describing today is Night by Elie Wiesel. The book Night symbolizes how Elie’s life has been ever since he was taken away from home. On the first couple of pages it explains how he didn’t write the book just for him to go mad or to go mad so that people would understand the madness he went through. Just from the first page you can tell that this will be a good book because of the tone used. What happened in the book?, you may ask.
Millions of people were brutally abused by the Nazis, forcing them to resort to beastly ways. Hitler, the Nazi party leader, had a master plan of dehumanizing and crushing the entire Jewish population. Until the liberation of the Jews, he had a successful run. Hitler dehumanized Jews by way of starvation, physical abuse, and verbal abuse. This theme can be seen very clearly in “Night” by Elie Weisel.
Elie’s Dreadful Nightmares Elie needs to provide for himself as he has been separated from her family and Moishe. The surroundings make him afraid, but he must persevere and secretly find a way out. What will Elie do to help save himself and his family from this dreadful situation? Follow along as Elie begins his journey to escape. The concentration camp really conveys Elie’s horrors and emphasizes the effects this has on him.
When they were being sent to Auschwitz they were deprived of their basic needs and living comfort. Elie, his family, and other Jews were crammed into a cattle cart and had one window. Elie states "The Hungarian police made us climb into the cars, eighty persons in each one. They handed us some bread, a few pails of water..." (Wiesel 22).
Another day in the same cattle car, yet this time it has come to a stop. Some of them are dead, most starved, but none of them know what is coming. They have now arrived at Auschwitz where “Work Will Set You Free”. They have started to experience the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the event of Hitler wanting to eliminate all Jews because he did not like them and thought they needed to be eliminated due to them being different, he eliminated them by putting them in concentration camps.
