A Night of the Holocaust The faith of God, humanity, and unity were all destryoed by the Nazi’s during the holocoust, a time of slaughter of European civilians, especially Jews during World War II. Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor, and an author who explains his experience of life in a concentration camp in the book, Night. Elie Wiesel was one of the many Jews who were forced to go to a concentration camp. Although they've went through hard times and kept their hopes up for a long time, they lost their faith and humanity was destroyed. Elie was born on September 30th in 1928. He was 15 at the time of the holocaust, he died on July 2nd in 2016. Elie had

Where's God? How can I believe, how can anyone believe in this God of Mercy?” (Wiesel 76). Elie explained how even though he is only a human in his faith, he still describes how God is not helping. He explains why he is starting to give up on his beliefs. “Blessed be God’s name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because He kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers end up in the furnaces? Praised be Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar?” (Wiesel 67). Elie has now given up on God, he explains how there is nothing to praise God for. He describes what he is going through, how hard it really is to be in his position, and he can not understand why God won’t help him, so he starts to not find a purpose of blessing God’s name, he doesn’t find a reason to bless God’s name. Elie doesn’t find why must he serve his faith if his faith won’t help him and his people struggling with him. This is what he is going threw. Elie has lost his

Faith was lost, and it was because of what Elie has been through. Nobody deserves to go through something like this. These people were treated worse than animals. The holocaust is proof of what people have the power of doing to each other even though we are all human. I haven’t been anywhere close to being a prisoner in a concentration camp, and Elie didn’t give up, but if I would be in his place, I would try really hard not to lose my faith. That is something that no one can take away. Yes, they can try breaking it, but they can’t take it away. You must continue to stand for what you believe in, and it’s hard to go threw what the prisoners have gone through. The holocaust was a part of history that nobody can fix. Faith shouldn’t be tested or lost this way. And inhumanity shouldn’t exist, aren’t we all human? Don’t we bleed the same blood? What the prisons have gone trough was something I don’t dream even in my nightmares. Elie Wiesel was a prisoner, and he explains deeply what his life was during the holocaust, his story is painted with dark sentences. His story begins in chapter one of his book,
